Ms Bernie McNally:

We understand that schools have pressures. There was €90 million given to help them with the cost of living back in 2022. There was €60 million last year, and €21 million extra is going into their base from this September. I would also encourage schools that if they are having specific difficulties, and I know the Deputy is talking specifically about caretakers, they should go to the financial support services unit, FSSU, that we operate if they are in extreme difficulty.
