I rise to follow up on the failure to draw down funding in the Departments of Health and Children and Education and Science. There is a great deal of concern about smaller schools losing teachers. The INTO published figures in Roscommon recently on 12 schools nationally, each of which lost a teacher because the schools were just one pupil under the retention figure last September. At a time of investment of significant resources in education, it is an especial blow to smaller schools to lose a mainstream teacher.
