The career guidance offered at the time certainly did not include politics, but my point is the provision of career guidance must also be considered. If kids are to be kept in school for longer, they should be given the proper career guidance they require.

While there is much more I could say about this issue, this is a good Private Members' Bill that should see the light of day. All Members should have an opportunity to engage in the debate on Committee Stage when Fianna Fáil will table some constructive amendments. I hope this will happen before the general election that probably will be held in the not too far distant future.
