School Textbooks
Dail Éireann — 2022-03-10
============================================================

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin (LAB), Dublin Bay North

The Minister will know that I have been raising the issue of a free schoolbooks scheme for many years now. I want to see one in this State that mirrors the one that is available in Northern Ireland, where no parent pays for a schoolbook. The Minister has initiated a pilot scheme. At what point can we expect to see a free schoolbook scheme in every school in the country at primary and secondary level?
