Brendan Smith (Cavan-Monaghan, Fianna Fail)

It is important to recognise the engagement of mathematics teachers with this project as well. Often it is easy for people to knock the public service and those delivering services. This project emphasises the importance of ongoing professional development and the fact that these courses are developed. It is important to recognise the worthwhile engagement by teachers of mathematics. The recent announcement by the Minister is important in this regard as is the further involvement of the University of Limerick with the post-graduate diploma.
