I thank the Cathaoirleach and the Minister of State. I appreciate the forthright way in which the Minister of State gave me those details and I may write to her for further information. While appreciating that the institutions are autonomous bodies, it seems surreal that an A Level in PE is not recognised in applying for certain subjects, particularly when it is now much more science-based than what we would have understood it to be in the past. The Minister of State has provided useful information. We should look at this further and use the Minister's good offices to engage with the further education institutions about how they open their doors in a much more inclusive way across the Thirty-two Counties and beyond to ensure that more people can avail of their first-class education.
