-----from the points of view of health and safety, child protection, education policy, etc. We are talking about only five schools that are being left behind. For example, Scoil Náisiúnta Inis Meáin has nine pupils enrolled for September. Half of the pupils speak fluent Irish, but one pupil, who is from Belarus, speaks very little English and some of the other pupils speak only English. That means the teacher faces a major task in acting as educator in that particular role. We need a debate on the matter, specifically on the Gaeltacht Irish language policy in terms of education, but also particularly with regard to offshore island schools. I ask the Leader to facilitate a debate on the issue.
