It is now nearly four years since the previous Government announced a review of out-of-school education provision and appealed for submissions. When is that review going to be completed? I presume there will be a report. When will it be published? The findings are meant to inform future State policy towards education centres, such as the Cork Life Centre. That centre is doing tremendous work and providing a vital service in our community but it is doing so without the support it needs and deserves from the State. When, for example, is the Government going to provide funding for the 12 teaching staff at the school who are currently working on a voluntary basis and are not being properly or fully paid? Does the Taoiseach agree that this is not an acceptable situation and must be resolved as a matter of urgency? When is that report going to be published?

I am a great admirer of the work the Cork Life Centre undertakes. I disagree with the Deputy's assessment, which I think is unfair. I have involved myself personally in this issue over the past two years. I have engaged with the education and training board, ETB, which has also engaged with the Cork Life Centre. Significant supports have been provided to the centre. There have been issues around governance and all that but they have been put to one side. We accept the position that is being taken by those who manage and run what is a good centre for young people, for whom mainstream education does not provide. We have provided a lot of financial supports to the centre. We remain in constant engagement with the centre. I do not have a date for the publication of the national review. We moved ahead of the review to engage with the Cork Life Centre and to deal with issues there that needed to be addressed.
