481. Deputy Seán Canney asked the Minister for Education if her attention has been drawn to the difficulties faced by substitute school teachers who are unable to progress on the pay point scale due to school closures; her plans to address this situation in order that teachers are not disadvantaged by school closures due to the lockdown; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
