I ask the Leader to arrange a debate on bullying and civility. I do so in the context of a coroner's report yesterday on the death of a young girl in County Cork. The debate should focus on the manner in which those who are bullied are categorised and treated by society. The House should acknowledge the grief of a family and that it has been aggrieved by the coroner's verdict yesterday.

I also call for a debate on education. Will the Leader invite the Minister for Education and Science, who came before the House two weeks ago, to return to the House to explain the deficit in the summer works scheme?
