Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)

In Dublin 15, there is complete confusion among boards of management, patrons and school principals over what is occurring in the education sector. Does the Minister intend to introduce legislation in this area? There are several Bills on the legislative programme that pertain to the VECs. What does the Government intend to do to follow up on her continual statements? She will make them again as we are now entering the season of teachers' conferences.
