School Costs
Dail Éireann — 2022-05-12
============================================================

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire (SF), Cork South-Central

Parents will be very much starting to worry about how they will pay for the next school year. It is always an enormous expense of several hundred euro and often more than €1,000 for families who have multiple children in school, for books, uniforms and voluntary contributions. We are in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis that families are grappling with, so what will the Minister do to make the return to school as affordable as possible for families?
