Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)

I support the calls for a debate on Northern Ireland. As regards a debate on education, many of the points made today would require several such debates. I would like our debate to focus on the transition from second to third level and on reform of the leaving certificate to facilitate the types of courses available. I compliment the institutes which have come a long way in facilitating the community by providing relevant courses. There have been many calls for debates on various aspects of education. I ask the Leader to arrange several debates so that the Minister can come to the House and discuss the various issues.
