@boyle_thomas@EemerEivers I never mentioned class size in my opinion piece Thomas. All 3 primary schools I visited had PTR of 10:1. That's certainly low compared to Ireland!
In a follow up interview on RTE I said that the low PTR resulted from huge number of support teachers, but class sizes were high.
Great to be back in @CrokePark for matches again. Crowds back, Artane band are back. All we need now are the @INTOnews@cnambnaisiunta half time Mini-7s games to return
