New figures revealed that a total of 380 out of the 722 post primary schools have applied for funding under the government's phone pouch scheme.

The initiative sparked criticism at the time and Opposition parties labelled it “wasteful” and “unnecessary”.

To discuss this, Kieran is joined by Conor Murphy, English Teacher in Skibbereen, Paul Crone, Director of The National Association of Principals and Deputies and later Eoghan Kenny, Labour Spokesperson for Education and Youth.
