As the Deputy noted, the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment undertook a review of this issue because the Minister for Education and Skills had asked it to do so. The Department received the NCCA's report in July and the Minister is giving it full consideration within his Department. It includes consideration of some very useful proposals made by the NCCA for how we can promote the study of history. I take the Deputy's concerns on board and will pass them on to the Minister.
