Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation

Niamh Smyth (FF), Cavan-Monaghan

Will the Tánaiste update the House on the ongoing dispute over pay and conditions for school secretaries and caretakers? I was delighted to see the Minister for Education, Deputy Foley, announcing that good progress had been made in recent days. This is a priority for me. Many of these staff members are the lifeblood of school communities and the glue that keeps schools together. They need to be treated with the same respect and dignity as their colleagues.
