Joe O'Reilly (Fine Gael)

I wish to raise the same point. I have no issue with Senator Bacik's request for a debate on the education system and its configuration. Such a debate should be ongoing. Senator Bacik, for whom I have good personal regard, will be aware that Bishop Leo O'Reilly and the bishops' conference have already suggested there will be a need for modification of our educational structures which will need to be altered to accommodate societal and demographic changes.
