Seán Kyne (FG), Cultural and Educational Panel

We know a review is in preparation. It is clear from the reply that the Department acknowledges there may be unique circumstances in schools. Without talking about any individuals in this school, I am sure there are situations where, unfortunately, a child or children in a school have a high level of demand, which results in the need for additional resources. I hope that in such situations, including in Gaelscoil Mhic Amhlaigh, that would be taken into account in the review. From engaging with parents and the principal, I believe there is an absolute need for additional resources in this school to cater for the high level of demand and the high numbers within the school.
