I certainly will raise it again. I echo comments made by colleagues on the Ryan report and the need for further debate on it. It was an issue on which many people expressed their views strongly and in very emotional terms. It was a real issue underlying the elections.

Moreover, issues arise from the Ryan report which is not a report about history. In response to Senator Mullen, Deputy Ruairí Quinn was quite correct to look at the issue of education more broadly because it would be irresponsible of Members not to consider the broader context in which the Ryan report's findings and recommendations are made.
