Seán Crowe (Dublin South West, Sinn Fein)

We all want to be reasonable in this regard. How legally binding would a letter of comfort be? I am concerned about what is coming down the track.

I accept what the Minister says about the difficulties encountered in redeployment. However, consultation is important. I had hoped he might make an amendment, but it is too late at this stage.

While I welcome the Minister's efforts to meet the education partners, I feel strongly about this issue and will be pressing the amendment.
