Batt O'Keeffe (Cork North West, Fianna Fail)

Educate Together is doing an outstanding job in the primary sector, the non-denominational side of it is covered. The second level sector is a different kettle of fish. The Deputy is looking for recognition as a patron body in an area that is already served by the VEC sector in a non-denominational way. There are serious issues that must be examined within the Department. I am anxious to decide what we will do and I will look at the issue actively.
