Helen McEntee (FG), Meath East

We have dedicated support and funding for schools, with a commitment for €200 million over the lifetime of the strategy. Through the NDP and the next strategy, we will commit even more funding. Some €325 million has been invested specifically to provide technology in our schools, recognising that is how things are going and that technology is a really positive part of how children learn. I am absolutely committed to ensuring that we continue to support our schools and that they have the technology and equipment they need. We will reach the point where schools will no longer have to replace the technology they have, where they will have all the equipment they need and where this top-up funding will essentially make sure that every new student is able to avail of what is available.
