The young people of this country are so special they have had their class sizes increased, their SNAs cut, their language support and resource teachers cut, their capitation grants cut and registration fees increased for third level students. Can the Taoiseach tell the teachers on the streets, the young people of this country and their parents that our new special status means there will be no further cuts to education at primary, secondary or third level and that he will reverse this unfair discrimination against young, newly qualified teachers, who are special?
