Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Industrial Relations (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill is due this session. On the question of guidance counsellors and the reform of the junior certificate, the Minister for Education and Skills has given her views in respect of the junior certificate. I will raise the question of guidance counsellors with her, but the decision was very clear, namely, to allow them to have greater freedom at school level.

In respect of the third matter the Deputy mentioned, it is a matter of concern to me. I hope that we could give consideration to a debate in the House, on the resumption of the Dáil, on these matters in general. A number need to be reflected and commented upon in the House.
