Ulick Burke (Fine Gael)

Will the Leader request the Minister for Education and Science to come before the House to discuss the fact that, within days, students will sit the leaving certificate examination and, as of now, they are uncertain about their future in third level? The Minister has flown many kites during the past six months with regard to his intentions. This has caused great concern among parents and students as to whether they will be capable of financing and resourcing their participation in third level education in the coming year. Will the Leader request the Minister to come before the House and indicate clearly his intentions on this matter and not to fudge it any longer?
