In the Irish Examiner there is an article on -- Health, education and anti-crime the key: Kenny.
Fine Gael party leader Enda Kenny talks about the current state of literacy in Ireland and his hopes for a thriving "knowledge economy."
He said it was vital to invest radically and intensively in education, right from pre-school.
"The current early-start programme is at pilot stage. It has been for 10 years. And with one in five Irish people barely able to read or write, the move to the knowledge economy is a bit of a quantum leap. It requires quantum change," he told delegates.
"A confident Ireland starts with education. We must make the best education a basic civil right. Not the random privilege of parenting or class."
