Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 Mar 2021)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I do not need to remind the Tánaiste about the very significant hardship and sacrifice that huge numbers of people have undergone as a result of the Covid pandemic.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 Mar 2021)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Once upon a time, it was considered unthinkable that there would be open access to secondary education. We now look back and see it as monstrous that we would ration or limit the number of places available in secondary education.
