Significant funding has been made available to schools in the respect of Covid. There will be no question but that such funding will be made available, subject to public health advice and as required.

As the Deputy is aware, we have put considerable resources into special education. In excess of €40 million has been made available to run the summer programme. The Deputy specifically referenced that. In the context of the teacher training online courses over the summer, there has been a meeting with the providers in relation to that matter. I have heard the concerns of providers. The decision has been taken to engage with them, and I will keep the Deputy briefed on that.
