Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

The problem of vacant teaching posts has been growing year-on-year under the Minister's watch. The problem is now out of control with 800 vacant teaching posts at primary level and two thirds of secondary schools having unfilled vacancies. Special schools and DEIS schools in the Dublin area are suffering the most due to the housing and cost-of-living crisis. What will the Minister and the Government do about it?
