- Public Accounts Committee: 2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 26 - Office of Minister for Education (16 May 2024) Paul McAuliffe: It is an incredibly slow take-up. My understanding is that it involves the teacher first making an application for a public services card, which often involves them doing it on a day when they are not working because that is how it operates. Is anything being done with regard to the public services card in order for teachers to be able to access that service within the school?

Vote 26 - Office of Minister for Education (16 May 2024) Paul McAuliffe: What I am saying is that the Department needs to do far more.

It is a major failure in the context of an issue that could...
