Helen McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael)

I acknowledge the teachers, the wonderful SNAs and special education teachers and everyone in our schools for the fantastic work they do. While billions of euro has gone into our schools portfolio in recent years, there is obviously more we need to do. I am very aware that there are schools that need replacement buildings and extensions and where further progress needs to be made. I am happy to engage on the school in question to see what progress can be made to ensure it has the resources it needs to support teachers.
