It is outrageous that there are young soldiers sleeping in their cars. There are similar problems with young teachers on the bread line.

I cannot finish without saying this - we will pay a considerable price in this country for what we are doing to education. In increasing the fees to go back to third level education, maintaining the employment control framework in the third level institutions and not properly resourcing institutes of further education, we will pay a price when the multinationals, of which we are so proud, start to walk out of this country because we do not have an education system that will sustain them.
