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

I may have picked the Deputy up wrong, but I think he is asking me to agree with him that whatever is announced will not be enough. Perhaps that was a Freudian slip, because that is what he is going to say no matter what is announced. Leaving that aside, this is something that I have called for too, and it is something the Minister for Education, Deputy Foley, is working on. We should be able to publish that in the coming weeks. It has not gone to the Cabinet yet. What the Deputy may have been trying to say - I agree with him on this - is that a summer catch-up fund will not be enough. It will need to go beyond the summer and into next year because, unfortunately, those most at risk of educational disadvantaged are the ones who have missed out the most and have fallen behind the most. It is in our interests as a society to make up for that and that is what we intend to do.
