Bhí ceisteanna an-shonrach ann agus is léir go bhfuil na freagraí ann. An airíonn na finnéithe i ndáiríre, áfach, go bhfuil an Roinn ag éisteacht leo agus go bhfuil an Roinn ag tógáil an ghéarchéim seo mar ghéarchéim? A number of people have said this is a crisis, but do the witnesses feel the Department sees it as a crisis and is engaging with them in crisis mode to fix it?

Mura miste leis, an ndéarfaidh an tUasal Ó Ruairc cúpla focal maidir le haitheantas a thabhairt do mhúinteoirí ó tíortha eile?

Is it just a perception around the number or has there been an increase since 2011 of teachers on contracts with fewer than 18 hours? I get the sense that there has been an increase and that it has been a means to an end. This is possibly the case in the ETBs, in particular, where they have had to do it because of the means available. Therefore, many teachers have fewer than 18 hours and find themselves in a precarious situation. Do the facts stack up in that regard? Has there been an increase in the number of teachers in those situations?

Aontaím go hiomlán leis an Uasal Ó hAiniféin maidir le cúrsaí Gaelscolaíochta. Ó thaobh sholáthar múinteoirí agus na painéal reatha atá ann, feiceann muid go bhfuil fadhb ansin agus go bhfuil scoileanna teoranta ó thaobh glacadh le daoine ó na painéal atá ann i láthair na huaire. Dá bhrí sin, má théann muid i gcomhair painéal faoi leith ó thaobh soláthar múinteoirí breise ionadaíche, an mbeidh gá le painéal faoi leith atá ag plé le cúrsaí Gaeilge agus Gaelscolaíochta don tír ar fad ó thaobh múinteoirí atá oilte, inniúil agus ábalta múineadh agus teagasc trí mhéan na Gaeilge go huile is go hiomlán is go cumasach?
