It is my understanding, subject to checking the matter again, that the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment, NCCA, is giving detailed consideration to this issue in respect of the various cycles. It is important to get it right as well. It is extremely important that we modernise our approach to relationships and sexuality education in our schools and do it in a comprehensive way. We must also then work on the subsequent delivery of the programme once it is presented and ensure sufficient resources are allocated to support teachers in the various settings at both primary and second levels in terms of their capacity to deliver the programme in a comprehensive way.
