I would like to ask the Minister about the relegation of history as a distinct subject in the junior certificate cycle, and if he thinks it will help his action plan in education. The relegation of history is not being warmly welcomed by historians or teachers. There is much doubt about what he is attempting to do.

I would like the Minister to comment on his plans and children's futures in terms of giving them an advantage by learning history through different means.
