Seanad debates

Wednesday, 11 December 2002

At a parliamentary party meeting, I noted that the Minister for Education and Science accepted and decided to work with the Estimate with which he had been presented. I accept that all Ministers would, perhaps, like to be given more money. We should ensure that this happens, but we should indicate that Members on all sides regard this issue as a matter of high priority. We must also ensure that we do the maximum in terms of the making of future decisions. At elections those associated with schools try to squeeze the maximum commitments and approvals from the Government. While I do not blame them, it takes time for the Government to deal with commitments and proceed with other projects.
