Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

I welcome the Minister's confirmation that there are no proposals to introduce this in the area of the science curriculum which is the concern of many people. Will the Minister take it upon herself to ensure, through her inspectorate, that in the post-primary schools there is no attempt, despite the exhortations of quite a number, to introduce by the back door or otherwise the theory of intelligent design or creationism in the science curriculum? What happens in the religious doctrine classes is a separate matter altogether.
