Gaelscoileanna Teoranta has welcomed the government’s planned €95 million increase in capital expenditure on schools announced in the budget.

"53 per cent of Gaelscoileanna are operating with some measure of temporary accommodation," said Mícheál O’Broin, Chairman of Gaelscoileanna Teoranta, speaking in Dublin today.  "The Minister has fought hard for education to be so well treated in the budget and we look forward to the improvement this will make for hundreds if not thousands of children and teachers."
