The Minister of State is aware of what those phrases mean. As a result of the Minister for Education and Skill's policy, families are going to be split up and siblings will be obliged to attend different schools. What we are talking about is parishes being allowed to wither away as a result of schools being closed. The reply from the Department falls very short in answering the question I asked. Perhaps the Minister of State might convey my feelings on the matter to the Minister. I am sure I could have obtained most of the information contained in the reply which the Minister of State was asked to read on the Minister's behalf on the Department's website. A reply to an Adjournment matter should relate to the specific question raised about a particular matter.
