Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

The Donegal school in question has 183 pupils and 13 teachers including the school principal.

That works out at a pupil-teacher ratio of approximately 14 pupils per teacher, which is a good ratio by normal standards but there may be different factors involved. If there are some difficulties in the communication to which the Deputy referred he might send me a note or we can discuss it with a view to getting clarification.
