I have some questions. Following on from Deputy Ó Ríordáin's question about masks, did mask-wearing have the result the Department of Education had hoped for?

How many teachers are out with Covid each day? Is it as big an issue as it was in January? I know it has tapered off considerably, but schools still have issues trying to get substitutes.

I very much welcome the additional funding for school libraries. The program for Government commits to increasing the number of school libraries. Where are we with the roll-out and extension of school libraries? We are all aware of the importance of children reading books.
