Terence Flanagan (Dublin North East, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise the following matter of local and national importance, namely, the need for the new Minister for Education and Science to urgently revisit the decision made to cut back one teacher at St. Peter and Paul's boys national school in Baldoyle. There will be more pupils in the school next year than this year. By carrying out this cutback our young pupils and teachers will suffer while Fianna Fáil will break its election manifesto to reduce class sizes to 26:1.
