Sir, – I agree with Minister for Education Ruairí Quinn, who is quoted as saying "that the ship has left the harbour" in relation to the new Junior Cycle plans ("27,000 teachers protest over reform", Home News, March 12th). The only problem is that the teachers are not on board; the ship is without a crew. Bon voyage, Minister. – Yours, etc,
