- Adult Education. (15 Dec 2005)
Olwyn Enright: I am surprised to hear the Minister of State saying she will continue to prioritise this issue, as it has not been prioritised to date. Is the Government committed to establishing further education colleges as a distinct sector of education?

The Minister was not the Minister responsible at the time but I attended some of the meetings and, naturally, the people tended to be those with vested interests â teachers or parents of special needs children.
