In the first instance I acknowledge that there are responsibilities for all teachers and staff irrespective of the medium through which they teach. I attended an excellent event today in which young people from all over the country showcased the work they are doing through the Cineáltas programme by the Department. I recognised that the delivery of that programme and the opportunities it provides for children and young people was made possible by staff who stepped up to organise that for and with them. We are very fortunate that we have staff who provide additional opportunities for students along with their general responsibilities, teaching or otherwise.
