As ridiculous as that might seem, that is how ridiculous the website is because it will accept that information. It leaves the survey open to absolute abuse whereby people who have a specific view can make multiple entries on the website. The issue needs to be investigated by the Minister for Education and Skills. I would have thought the Department would have got that right. However, anybody can complete the survey under any name, claim to have six, seven or ten children and there is no verification. We all want to ensure that the information from the survey is correct and reflects people's views, but it does not.

Yesterday was obviously a particular day with the burial of Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe. Many people in the House asked in a very structured and non-partisan way that we would have a debate on policing. I put the House on notice that the Fianna Fáil group will use our Private Members' time next week to table a motion on policing and I hope we have an open, frank and respectful debate next week. That will give everyone an opportunity to have a discussion on the future of policing in the State.
