Séamus Healy (Tipperary South, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of national importance, namely, the urgent need for the Government to introduce maximum class size guidelines, which will ensure that average class sizes for children under nine years of age will be below the international best practice guidelines of 1:20, as promised in the programme for Government, and to ask the Minister for Education and Science to make a statement on the matter.
