Jack Wall (Kildare South, Labour)

Parents must be happy that their children will be educated in schools that boast the type of facilities associated with a prosperous modern European country. They must be secure in the knowledge that when their children go to school they will be educated by teachers who have time to teach and are not there to babysit large numbers of children. They must have confidence in the Government's ability to plan the facilities and type of education parents want and their children need. Unfortunately, they do not have that confidence in the Government.
