: With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 14 and 15 together.
I should point out that the paper— Irish Educational Expenditures—Past, Present and Future—was accepted by The Economic and Social Research Institute for publication and that it is stated in a foreword that the institute is not responsible for either the content or views expressed therein.
I consider that the Minister for Education also should not at this stage offer observations on the views expressed by Professor Tussing which might in any way prejudice an open and full public discussion on them.
The Government will continue to deal adequately with the educational problems arising at all three levels.
