Before I ask the Minister of State to come back in, I have in the past while seen that Ministers come in with scripts prepared for them by somebody else or by a different Department. We are very grateful to the Minister of State, Deputy Collins, for being here to take this matter, but it is completely unacceptable for any Department to provide a Minister, who is good enough to be here to deal with the issue, with a script that does not address the issue. It is not fair to the Minister of State and it is most certainly not fair to the Deputy who tabled this issue in the proper fashion. I will revert myself tomorrow to the Department of Education on this particular matter. I ask the Minister of State to conclude.
