John O'Mahony (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister for addressing the situation ahead of time. What he has said will be very good news for students at this critical stage of the school year. I ask him to confirm that all State examinations will be covered, including the junior certificate. Does the Minister know how many teachers have indicated they will retire in the coming months to 29 February in primary and post primary schools?
