Dinny McGinley (Donegal South West, Fine Gael)

As there are a number of one-teacher schools in the country, are there special arrangements to give these schools some form of support in the interests of health and safety? Is it the policy to have such a school manned by one teacher or is it the intention to have someone else in the class if the teacher is unavoidably absent, because otherwise the school will be closed? Is there any arrangement for one-teacher schools or will such schools be left on their own?
