I have received a submission from the Teachers' Union of Ireland requesting that extra funding be provided for implementing the McIver report. I will consider this submission, as I will consider the many other submissions I receive, in the context of the forthcoming budget. I will present the 2006 budget to the Dáil on 7 December 2005. As is normal, I will not comment on the contents of the budget in advance of that date.
