Mary Lou McDonald: -----and he will find that I am reflecting the truth on the ground to him. The Government introduced the 10% stamp duty and, in fact, far from the number of bulk purchases falling, it actually accelerated year on year. I have the figures to hand. They were given to me by my colleague, Deputy Doherty, who received them by means of a response to a parliamentary question. The number of bulk...

Mary Lou McDonald: At a Fine Gael press conference, the Taoiseach told reporters that as he canvasses around the country, he has heard too many examples of the bulk-buying of homes by wealthy property funds, but, of course, he already knew this was happening and that it is not happening by accident. Property funds bulk-buying family homes is a direct result of Government policy. Over a decade ago, Fine Gael...

Jim O'Callaghan: I thank all the students and guests for coming before the committee today. Starting with Mr. Irfan, I would have thought it was a very positive development that we are going to have a separate climate action and sustainable development course at senior cycle. Does he agree with me that there are many younger people who are interested in climate action and the climate crisis and that this...

Jim O'Callaghan: Okay. Turning to Ms Adhikari, what would she like to see being covered in this course? I do not know if she has had an opportunity to engage with the Department in respect of the course, but even if she has not, what elements of the whole issue of climate action and sustainable development would she like to see included in the course?

Jim O'Callaghan: I thank Ms Adhikari. Moving to Mr. Lian, I am conscious that putting a course on the secondary-cycle level is not just for the purposes of something the State thinks is civically important, although it is. Obviously, the course must also be examined, marked and assessed. It is a serious subject, so we would want to ensure it is properly appraised by markers. Would he view this as being a...

Jim O'Callaghan: In a query for Ms Doyle, I suppose, ultimately, when we examine the detail of climate change and the climate crisis, we can see that, at its heart, scientific, observable changes are happening. How prominent should the academic and scientific study of it be in the course? With the greatest respect, it cannot just be about activism. If we have a leaving certificate course that is just about...
