Fidelma Healy Eames (Fine Gael)

I welcome the Minister of State. I appreciate the words of Opposition Senators this evening. I want to talk about the child, the importance of the quality of the education experience and the importance of quality education outcomes. I know the Minister of State has heard me speak previously on this issue. I would have liked if the Minister, Deputy Quinn, had graced us with his presence this evening on this topic.
