Teacher-training reform and college names
The exchange returns to the Church of Ireland college's name and wider teacher-training reform, with the Acting Leader promising an opportunity to question the Education Minister.
I am not talking about the name of Trinity College. I do not concur with Senator Norris's views on that.

This matter might be raised again with the Minister for Education and Skills on Thursday when he comes into the House to speak with us about the Education and Training Boards Bill. He has made clear his commitment to reforming the teacher training sector. There has been unnecessary duplication, as he has pointed out, in teacher training and the education of our teachers. He proposes to introduce important reforms in the same way as he is introducing reforms in school patronage.
