The representatives of the primary sector have spoken about the supply panels. Could the representatives of the secondary sector give an estimate of the shortfall of teachers, particularly in light of what Mr. Boyle has just said about teachers, or family members of teachers, suffering from serious illnesses? There is also the fact that some women will possibly go out on maternity leave. Is there any idea of the estimated shortfall of teachers at secondary level?
