Paddy Burke (Fine Gael)

I have notice from Senator Browne that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:

The need for the Minister for Education and Science to clarify if she plans to change the current practice where primary schoolteachers give up five days of their summer holidays to get back three personal leave days; and if she plans to allow paid substitute cover for those days.

I regard the matter raised by the Senator as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and it will be taken at the conclusion of business.
