Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The budget provides for a significant increase in spending on education and staffing levels next year, including a reduction in the staff-pupil ratio by one in primary schools, in addition to the €5 million fund mentioned by the Deputy. I will have to ask the Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy Foley, to revert to the Deputy with details in that regard. I think I know the details but I would probably get them wrong if I blurted them out now. I will ask the Minister to revert to the Deputy.
