Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

I am informed by my colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy Sherlock, that the national centre of excellence in University of Limerick is developing programmes to up-skill the education and the delivery of education in the mathematics area and the other science, technology, engineering and mathematics, STEM, subjects. This problem must be addressed. The previous Government also recognised it as a problem and we will build on the work done to date.
