Helen McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael)

This comes back to the previous question, but special schools can recruit both primary and post-primary teachers. The issue about the allowances is part of the local bargaining that will take place with all of the unions and associations over the summer to see what more can be done in that regard. There is always more we can do to support our special schools and make sure that those in disadvantaged areas in particular get as much support as possible.

The Deputy had a second question.
