I fully support Senator Humphrey's remarks. A similar issue arose with the Clerys group during the previous Government, and the Government acted quickly in that case. I acknowledge my two colleagues from the Labour Party, who were quick on the ball that time. As Senator Humphreys said, tomorrow morning those teachers need to see somebody from the Department who will be present and will take a note of their names. There are some horrific stories, such as people waiting for their salary for two months. If an appearance by an official could be arranged, it would be great although I appreciate the Minister is doing what she can.
