At this important time, I want to address a question to the Leader. Over the past number of weeks there have been conflicting reports from Progressive Democrats and Fianna Fáil Ministers regarding their attitude to the possible reintroduction of third level fees. Given that students are just two weeks away from the leaving certificate examination, it is important to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

I sympathise with the Leader of the House. Hers was not the only constituency where promises were made in relation to primary schools which were not delivered on. In my county, Kilkenny, the two Fianna Fáil Deputies who were returned made commitments about schools in Cuffesgrange and the Rower, projects which were to be completed this year and have not been completed.
