Nicky McFadden (Fine Gael)

I support the Leader in that. The other school is Athlone Community College, also dear to the Leader's heart, and part of the VEC. Plans have been drawn up but there is no start date. I asked the Minister about these matters and she agreed to reply but I have heard nothing yet.

I support Senator Fitzgerald regarding women overcoming violence. The Minister should attend a full debate here to see how we can support women who find themselves in this sensitive and sad position. These women are voiceless and, by the nature of the sensitive issue, they need people like us to represent them.
