I thank the Minister of State for his reply. I tabled a Commencement matter on this topic due to the confusion generated by the survey. There are parents who feel that they should have been surveyed but, unfortunately, it was only the parents of children who participate in ECCE schemes that were surveyed. As the Minister of State stated, surveys have been circulated in 16 pilot areas. I ask him to convey and highlight all of my concerns to the Minister for Education and Skills. We need to work together and we need to ensure that all parents have an opportunity to express their views about education for their children. No matter what, we must respect everybody's wishes and that is what I am here to do. I know the Minister of State will convey my concerns to the Minister for Education and Skills.
