Anne Rabbitte (Galway East, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The only response I can give to the Minister is that I am glad to hear her embrace what I am suggesting. I believe the Minister and I are on a similar page when it comes to early intervention from the cradle to getting them to the leaving certificate and then to college or on to the jobs market. That is what we need to consider, and that is where we need to deliver. There is common political will, which is the most important aspect. The child must be the centre of our focus at all times.
