Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am pleased that Gaelscoil Phádraig is making progress in its building needs but I take the point that a school needs teachers, which is a vital component of any school. I can imagine the stress that it is causing for the principal and others there trying to fill those vacancies. I will ask the Minister, Deputy McEntee, to look directly at the issue the Deputy has raised on behalf of the school in terms of whether there is a temporary solution to allow the hiring of substitutes and retired teachers and she will revert to the Deputy directly.
