Brian Hayes (Dublin South West, Fine Gael)

This is interesting. Has the Minister included in that figure, for example, English language support teachers, the loss of home-school-community liaison teachers and his decision on the suppression of the 128 classes on special needs?

On the other question I asked, could he bring some finality to this? Can he give the House a categorical reassurance that there will be no further cutbacks this year in the primary and post-primary sectors? I have asked that questions three times.
