Seanad debates

Wednesday, 9 October 2002

Senators on the Opposition side talked about problems with maintenance grants and money. I work in the real world and we must all work there. There are limits to the amount of finance any Minister or Government can get. We have to spend the money available to best effect. I will put as much of the money as I can into tackling disadvantage. I hope everybody who wants improvements in education and the tackling of disadvantage will back the moves and will not support the vested interests that have held us back, ensured that changes cannot occur and hindered those at the bottom of the education pile. Those who are excluded will remain so if public representatives do not make courageous and positive decisions.
