Ulick Burke (Fine Gael)

Will the Leader notify the Minister for Education and Science of the crisis at third level, particularly in institutes of technology where many students are denied access to lectures due to insufficient personnel to provide them? First year students, in particular, who may have had a difficult transition from second to third level, have their woes compounded by this situation, although we are almost two months into the academic year. What will the Minister do with regard to providing proper education facilities for students who are in college from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m?
