Dr. Gormley referred to the need for technology in the classroom. In my constituency, in which both Leinster House and a big tech sector in the south-east inner city are located, Google is very good at providing technology and software to local schools and supporting them with materials and computers. Is there anything more that can be done nationally to try to encourage the tech sector to provide supports in schools?
