Paul Gogarty (Dublin Mid West, Green Party)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate an issue of national importance, namely the need for the Government to immediately resource the National Education Welfare Board, which has been in the news this week. Some 500 classrooms-full of children miss more than 40 school days a year. If the National Education Welfare Board received the funding it has requested it could be dealt with.
