Physical Education
Seanad Éireann — 2024-09-24
============================================================

Neale Richmond (FG), Dublin Rathdown

I thank the Senator. I reassure him and the House that all qualified primary school teachers are fully qualified to teach the full spectrum of the primary curriculum, including physical education. Primary teachers undertake elements of physical education as part of their teacher training. Teachers refresh their training on an ongoing basis and use Croke Park days to enhance that.
