Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation

============================================================

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. As she knows, the budget provides additional funding for more teachers, special needs assistants and special education teachers, as well as a reduction in the pupil-teacher ratio. That money has been allocated but it does not necessarily mean schools will be able to find people who are appropriately qualified. If the Deputy passes the details of this case on to me, I will make sure the Minister, Deputy Foley, gets them. I will ask that she perhaps contact the school directly to see whether there is anything we can do to help.
