Class Sizes: Motion (Resumed). (27 Apr 2005)

Olwyn Enright: I congratulate Deputy O'Sullivan and the Labour Party on tabling this motion. Deputy Peter Power felt the motion was too narrow and not broad enough.

I accept there is a need for stop-gap measures. The amount of money decreased in 2004 but it climbed steadily in the four years preceding that.
