Before I speak on this question I want to register my disbelief at the fact that we were not able to get very specific numbers and answers to what I would regard as straightforward questions in response to my first oral question. On this question, I ask the Minister the number of times and dates on which he has personally engaged in meetings with the teaching partners to discuss junior certificate reform proposals since becoming Minister, the status of progress on implementing the junior certificate reform programme, if he will commit to independent assessment of the new junior certificate student awards as recommended by the NCCA working group, and if he will make a statement on the matter.
