I urge the Leader to draw those matters to the attention of the Ministers, Deputy Quinn and Deputy Bruton and the Minister of State, Deputy Sherlock, because promoting ourselves as a high-technology economy and making those kind of mistakes - to the demoralisation of young people - is damaging to the country. We are all agreed on that. There is expertise in that the Minister himself is an architect and Senator Clune is an engineer. We should not be making such mistakes at the expense of so many young people doing exams.

I also ask the Leader to welcome the G8 to County Fermanagh next week. Councillor Alex Baird is the chairman of Fermanagh District Council. I thank Prime Minister Cameron who has brought this great summit to this country.
