School Staff
Dail Éireann — 2020-07-30
============================================================

Pádraig O'Sullivan (FF), Cork North-Central

The Minister and I were both formerly schoolteachers and we understand the challenges in terms of teacher shortages in education. This is a problem that predates Covid and the plan to reopen schools in September. I welcome the recent announcement the Minister made regarding 1,080 additional teachers for post-primary schools. Will she provide the House with details on how these posts will be made available to schools?
