Sinn Féin Cllrs Peadar Tóibín and Navan Town Mayor Joe Reilly attended the picket. Ógra activist Daithí Byrne stated;
“Some parents have been hit with bills up to €800 for books and school uniforms, many parents will not be able to pay these amounts and their children will go without school books this term.”
The Meath Sinn Féin Cllrs have also tabled a motion for the September meeting of Navan Town Council calling on the government to reverse these savage cuts.
According to North Leinster Cúige Organizer Caoimhe Ní Shluáin;
”Fianna Fail and the Green Party have axed a raft of significant and important education services across schools in Meath. But they are not finished yet. If Fianna Fáil have their way and implement the McCarthy report a further 3400 teaching posts will be axed, small rural schools will be amalgamated, a further 2,000 special needs teachers will be axed, a further 1,000 language support teachers will be cut and the cost of school transport will be increased. These cuts are not necessary. It is a simple matter of priorities. Do we bail out the backs or educate our children.”
