I will be brief because I am anxious to move to the next group of amendments. The Minister may say there is no question of resources not being in place but we hear from schools - maybe more so special schools than special classes but the legislation relates to that - that resources are...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: The Minister of State has just given a timeline of the occasions on which these parents have already been disappointed. We are none the wiser as to when this will come to pass.

They are still no wiser. Even if the...

Back to School Costs: Motion [Private Members] (5 Jul 2022)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: -----and from other organisations as well. I welcome the steps that have been taken. They will undoubtedly help those on the lowest incomes, but there are many people who will not benefit.
