Friday 4 April 2025 Dublin: 10°C
The number of schools needing financial crisis help has increased by 540% in two years
Almost half of schools receiving financial guidance are Deis and special schools.
Schools are commonly referred to the State's financial support service in times of financial crisis.
Just five schools were referred in the 2022/23 school year, but now 34 schools are receiving assistance.
One TD said funding increases for schools are not matching rising costs.
