Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Adult Literacy: Discussion

Ms Inez Bailey:

I want to go back to the first question on costs. PricewaterhouseCoopers, PwC, was commissioned to estimate the cost to the Netherlands economy in regard to its literacy and numeracy problems among the adult population, which would be far lower than the Irish context, and it estimated a cost of €1.3 billion in 2018.
