Text
I thank the Minister for his response. I declare an interest as the father of children who have been educated through the Irish-medium sector. Minister, on the topic of staff shortages, a comprehensive workforce strategy is needed to underpin the growth of the Irish-medium sector. Can the Minister confirm whether he intends to support any prospective Irish-medium education teachers with bursaries or other financial assistance?
