Senator Craughwell has moved an amendment to the Order of Business, "That a debate with the Minister for Education and Skills on her plans to ensure sufficient numbers of substitute teachers are available to national schools, and on the medical basis on which it is deemed safe for children to attend school, be taken today." Is the amendment being pressed?
Comment on this
No, I will not press the amendment. I take the Leader's word that she will prioritise this issue and deal with it on the nearest possible date.
