Dáil
‹ An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business School capitation and class sizes
Summary
Deputy Collins pressed for the Education Minister to address capitation grants and class sizes, warning of school financial pressures and the upcoming budget.
This is the fifth week in a row I have asked that the Minister for education come to the Dáil to talk about the capitation grant and class sizes. It is hugely important now. We are facing into the summer break, almost immediately after which we will have the budget. It is a huge concern in the Irish National Teachers' Organisation, INTO, especially with regard to the capitation grant where some schools are facing closure.
