Primary School Funding: Motion [Private Members] (26 Jun 2024)

Paul Murphy: I am going to share time. I welcome the motion and note that the Government has not tabled an amendment to it, which means it is going to allow the motion to pass with no intention of implementing its demands for dramatic reductions in pupil-teacher ratios, investment according to OECD averages and so on.
