Ulick Burke (Galway East, Fine Gael)

It is wrong for the Minister to say a post of responsibility is an advancement in pay and opportunity. She is rejecting the valuable work that was done by post holders over the years, which was an integral part of the operation of the schools. We talk of the importance of liaison between the school and the home but that is dead, gone, finished. How can the Minister justify this kind of change?
