I thank Deputy Nolan for raising the issue. Teacher supply is an issue which my colleague, the Minister, takes seriously. Budget 2024 contains a range of targeted measures aimed at trying to improve teacher supply, including a professional master's of education incentive scheme to be introduced for teachers graduating in 2024 and an expansion of the number of upskilling programmes available in Irish, French, politics and society and computer science. I will ask the Minister for Education to update Deputy Nolan directly on the status of the proposal to which she referred.
