Marie Louise O'Donnell: I thank Mr. Parsons. I read his submission and his curriculum vitae, which is wonderful because he has come from an educational background. He went through education at night and worked his way up to vocational education. It is a wonderful route to come this way from the ground up into what he does now. Does Mr. Parsons consider that working with communities is a major part of what he...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: Apropos something the Chairman said, it is all very well talking about small county and church museums, but it is similar to the idea of having theatres everywhere. Theatres were to be built in every town. They are great, but it costs a lot of money to run and keep them open. The best example is in my county, County Mayo, in Straide where there is a museum about Michael Davitt which is...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: The Chairman is correct, but those who run many of the smaller museums will say the margin for sustainability is very small and that they cannot reach it. We are not talking about the Museum of Country Life in Castlebar which is a huge enterprise. We are talking about small places where young people who have no work or those participating in apprenticeship schemes, about which we are still...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: The reason I asked Mr. Parsons about second level education is because that is where the impasse seems to be or it all settles down into an examination. There is nothing wrong with that because the leaving certificate is a very honest examination and if somebody does any sort of work, they will get through and it is great to pass an examination. It has many other problems. The reason I...
