Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am not sure of the details of what Deputy Healy-Rae is speaking about with regard to retired teachers being accommodated. The Minister has set out the programme and funding to recruit new teachers based on demographic increases, particularly increases in school-going populations, and this is being followed through. I will have the Minister send Deputy Healy-Rae a report on what has been stated in newspapers about retired teachers.
