Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I wish to put him on notice that this is information he should be able to offer to Members when they seek it. How many additional teachers would be required to reduce the pupil-teacher ratio in primary education by one? What additional resources would be needed to fund that intent? Is the Minister in a position to answer the question?

To give the Minister some light relief, his predecessor as Minister for Education and Science, who held the position for many years more than the Minister, was not able to answer this question earlier this year.
