I am not attributing the faults of the past to the Minister, I am simply looking for her views. The Minister has already indicated that third level students receive benefits five times in excess of those given to other students. We all know the majority of children in working-class areas never reach that level, even though their parents are the main contributors to the fund. Does the Minister not accept that she should be looking to a situation where there should be discrimination now at primary school level in favour of those children who are described as working class but who are, in fact, the children of tax-paying parents?

The question of access to third level education is one of great concern to us, as I know it is to the Deputy. The whole question of the funding of education at all levels is under review.

A final supplementary, please.

Would the Minister accept that there are other circumstances which militate against certain students ever reaching third level education and that the facts and figures which she gave here are certainly not going to remedy that situation?

That question is going into a whole, different psychological area.
