Planning for the Lusk institution
Briscoe alleges that the previous Government’s failure to plan for Lusk contributed to the current situation and says accepting the Henchy Report earlier could have prevented it. The Minister agrees with his account.
On a point of order, is it in order for a Government Whip to ask a Minister a question?
Comment on this
I wish to ask the Minister is it not a fact that because of the lack of planning in the Department of Education in the past four years, as direct Government policy, that no plans were prepared for the institution at Lusk now being prepared by the Department? If the previous Government four years ago had accepted the Henchy Report, which the task force reiterated in their recommendations, does the Minister not agree that this situation would not be in existence today?
