Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

Does the Minister of State accept that finance is the reason the Government is pushing this into a negotiating process? A total of €80 million per annum is spent on subsidising private schools. Substantially less than that would have implemented this report in full and ended the nightmare where the plc is virtually an off-shoot of the VEC process. That is totally inadequate and inappropriate.
