Public Accounts Committee

Department of Education and Skills - Review of Allowances

12:00 pm

Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

In a primary school a sixth class teacher cannot step in to manage fourth class because they have their own class to manage. All they can do is take the fourth class pupils into their room if it is big enough, or else the teachers in other classrooms agree to the fourth class students being split up between them. We do not disagree with the overall point made by the Deputy.
