Darragh O'Brien (Fianna Fail)

I would like the Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy Ruairí Quinn, to come to the House today. I know, however, that will not be possible, but I seek a commitment that he will come to the House next week for a detailed debate to explain to me what the Government is doing. Not only is there an attack on rural schools but in this instance there is an attack on minority faith schools. Why is the Government going after smaller schools? It is because it does not believe there will be a critical mass for protests on the issue.
