Terence Flanagan (Dublin North East, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Education and Science to urgently revisit the decision made to cut back one teacher at St. Kevin's junior national school, Donaghmede. There will be more pupils in the school next year than this year and this cutback will mean that our young pupils and teachers will suffer and Fianna Fáil will be breaking its election manifesto to reduce the pupil-teacher ratio to 26 to one.
