Mr. David Duffy:

The TUI recommends that genuinely free education should be achieved through the implementation of revised tax measures. Significant investment is required for both the building of new schools and the modernisation and expansion of existing schools. Curricular needs and changes to curriculum must be taken into account. Building cost inflation must be taken into account, including in remote areas. The provision of special classes, increased ancillary staffing needs and the unique needs of new schools that are temporarily housed in primary schools must also be taken into account.
