We must consider the position in which teachers and parents find themselves and also look at the state of the education system. Increasing third level registration fees by 70% and slashing by €11 million initiatives to tackle school drop out rates will undermine the work that has been done in the area of education during the past 30 to 40 years. As a citizen, a representative from Donegal and a person who has worked in both the formal and non-formal sectors of education, I believe teachers, parents and students have been let down to a great degree and I beg the Minister to exercise caution and take heed because we need to examine this matter in a constructive and comprehensive manner.
