Willie O'Dea (Limerick City, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

We are all aware that schools have to resort to desperate measures in some circumstances because of the huge cutbacks in the education sector over the past four years. Does the Minister of State agree it is reprehensible that schools should exploit those young people in this way? Does he agree it was exploitation because that is how the Minister described it? She said that exploiting one set of people to do good work for another less privileged is at the least questionable. Has any action been taken against the people and the schools involved in this exploitation? What guarantee can the Minister of State give us that it will not recur?
