As the Minister is aware, the ASTI's executive council will recommend to its members the rejection of the recent outcome of the discussions between the union and the Department of Education and Skills. The Minister may not wish to comment on this issue in advance, which I can understand, but the second part of my question again pertains to junior cycle reform. Does the Minister recognise that serious concerns have been expressed by teachers, which must be taken on board and which must be addressed in the best interests of students?
