Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)

I support Senator O'Toole's call for the Minister for Transport, Deputy Brennan, to address the House on the new designer-type card and perhaps to indicate what information should be put on it. I would like the Leader to invite the Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs, Deputy Roche, to update the House on EU Presidency activities and as regards the spring summit that will take place here shortly.

I would also like a discussion on the points issue raised by Senator Minihan. However, I know the Minister for Education and Science is aware of the issues involved because that discussion is ongoing. It would be timely to re-examine the question of access to third level education. There is a golden opportunity now that the numbers are dropping.
