Brian Hayes (Dublin South West, Fine Gael)

That child is a pupil of one of these classes. This woman has asked me to ask the Minister what advice he would give to her and her son when next September he is put into a class with a greater number of children? What advice would the Minister offer this woman?

The Minister announced 32 cutbacks last October-November and a few more since January. Will he state categorically on the floor of this House that there will be no further cutbacks in his Department this year?
