I am seconding the amendment. The Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy Ruairí Quinn, signed a pledge to the effect that he would not increase school fees. When all is said and done, he will have increased them three times. It is bad enough to break a promise once but to do so on three occasions is quite an achievement. We were also promised the creation of 40,000 jobs per year. If we have a debate on the broken promise in respect of free GP care, perhaps in its aftermath we might engage in a debate on the famous five-point plan. If my colleague opposite from County Kerry can name the five points contained therein, I will give him a prize.
