Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection
Managing Back to School Costs: Discussion
10:55 am
Mr. Ferdia Kelly:
It is relatively new. The Minister reached an agreement with the publishers relatively recently. We were impressed by the agreement that books will not be changed within a period of five years of first being published. That is to be welcomed and it is very helpful. The danger in the past was that particular sections or chapters were changed, which could lead to the entire book having to be replaced.
