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

I am asking this question on behalf of Deputy Cowen. I ask the Minister to give us an estimate of the number of children and families who would benefit from the free books scheme in primary schools in Counties Laois, Offaly, Longford and Westmeath, respectively, for 2023 to 2024. Since I am taking the question, if the Minister has figures for Cork too, I would appreciate it.
