Jim Daly: ...value of education can never be overstated. Increasingly, with the passage of time, we see the many highs and lows in other different sectors and areas of society and the economy and we realise the staying power of education and the productive benefit it has for all who are fortunate enough to avail of it.

Departmental Agencies (24 May 2012)

Brendan Smith: ...or upskilled to avail of those potential job opportunities. It is grand for the public service, in general. This is not a criticism of any Department but of the public service, no matter who is in power, which does not react rapidly enough. The people who will be suffering will be those who need the courses. I wonder if the new Solas body is to be similar to the HEA; we discussed one...

Tá sé sin déanta go rialta, mar shampla i gcás Solas. Tá mé cinnte go bhfuil tuairimí ag an Rialtas faoi sin. Cad faoi focail ar nós "céim", "gradam", "foghlaim" nó "bronnadh"? Tá mé cinnte gur féidir teacht ar ainm breá Gaelach...

Tom Sheahan: I thank the Tánaiste.

When can we expect that Bill?
