The other issue I wish to raise is that of third level colleges. It is wrong in this day and age that we have colleges producing graduates for whom there are no jobs in this country. I refer, in particular, to the law faculties, in respect of which we have not adjusted to the times. It is sad that it takes so long for a third level institution to change to meet what the market is now seeking. If we have a debate on education, we should debate ensuring colleges respond to what the market requires. That is not happening or is not happening fast enough. The issue should be included in the debate on the next occasion the Minister for Education and Skills is in the Chamber.
