The fact that there are six EU committees in Europe which have no Irish representatives has been raised by our MEPs in their deliberations with this House.

The engagements we have had to date with our MEPs have been fruitful for them and the House.

Senator Sheahan called on the Minister for Education and Skills to attend the House to outline his views on the issue of monitoring school principals. Perhaps that can be raised in the context of the other debate we are trying to arrange on education issues.
