O'Keeffe rules out increased primary school funding
Education Minister Batt O'Keeffe says no increased funding will be made available for substitution cover for primary schools.
Mr O'Keefe announced yesterday that €2.7m would be provided to second-level schools to help cover supervision.
Teachers say the move does not go far enough to make up for the €21m that was slashed from education in the budget.
