Amendments have been tabled by Senators Ó Ríordáin, Ruane and others dealing specifically with the issue of English language schools which we will come to later. Clearly that has been thrown into sharp focus with the recent closure of Grafton College, of which the Minister of State is well aware. I welcome to the Public Gallery today some of those who have been directly affected by that closure, namely, former staff members of Grafton College. They are very welcome.
