Education Minister is currently on career break while trying to ban teachers' career breaks, Dáil hears

Education Minister Norma Foley briefed Cabinet colleagues on measures to address the shortage of teachers.
A move to ban career breaks “is not going to produce a solution” to a shortage of teachers, the Dáil has heard.
On Wednesday, the Dáil debated a motion proposed by the Social Democrats, calling for a range of measures to address the serious shortage of teachers in primary and secondary schools.
