Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

Has the Minister given renewed consideration to the idea of publishing the comprehensive waiting list so that every primary and post-primary school in the State has an indication of where it is on the list? All the emotional energy expended in seeking to find out that information, which soaks up so much time in Tullamore, in the Department and at Question Time, could be done away with. If the CAO system were run the way the Minister runs the schools building programme, there would be absolute chaos. No young student would know where he or she was with regard to points and student applications to universities. Has the Minister any moral sense of the duplicity of this system in its current format?
