Conor Lenihan (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

I am not aware of an effort to sabotage Project Maths. I am a Minister of State at the Department of Education and Science with responsibility for the third level spend on research and development and I am an enthusiastic supporter of this project. However, it is only one of a range of complementary measures needed to increase the take up of maths, particularly at higher level for the leaving certificate.
