Brian Hayes: The Minister had a particularly difficult week last week as her broken promises were exposed for all to see. It is continuing this week. She has said this is an unfair system.

In 1996 this community had a total population of 7,500; ten years later in 2006 there were 7,500 children under the age of 14 years. I am sure the Minister accepts this is an unbelievable...
