Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)

I also wish to reiterate the points made by the leaders of the Opposition parties that the Stardust inquiry be revisited. The programme was very disturbing viewing. I watched the documentary on Sunday and Monday night. I recall the event because our party was in the middle of an Ard-Fheis which was cancelled when the horrific news broke. I welcome the Taoiseach's comments that he is sensitive to this issue and intends to meet the victims and the families concerned. I know the Leader will convey the views of this House regarding that awful tragedy.

With reference to the ESRI report, it is quite disturbing that a percentage of young students have not completed the leaving certificate programme and are not finding employment. I question the role of FÁS and its ability to link up with the Department and with local schools to find out how best to help students who are not progressing to third level education so that they can be given an opportunity of attending proper courses to help them get into the world of work. This issue is the concern of both the Department of Education and Science and the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and it calls for a debate in the House.
