I compliment the Minister for Education and Science, the State Examinations Board and all those who helped to make this a reality.

My second point is one which perhaps it is not popular or profitable for politicians to discuss. I refer to the final departure of the Christian Brothers from active participation in the Irish educational landscape. The Christian Brothers mission, set up by that great Waterford man, Edmund Ignatius Rice many years ago has come in for its fair share of criticism in recent years.
