It is hard to understand why Ireland remains such an outlier in terms of school library provision. Access to a print-rich, professionally-staffed school library should be the right of every child.

So @NormaFoleyTD1 and @SimonHarrisTD why no mention of @jcsplibraries in this report? Despite evidence in reports published by the joint committee on Education that have highlighted the many advantages a school library can offer disadvantaged students. @LAIonline @SLG_LAI

School libraries are more important than ever in today’s world of misinformation and malinformation. School libraries are a transformative space that are allocated to most other school in the EU @jcsplibraries @NormaFoleyTD1

If I could count the number of times I've talked to teachers who are really struggling for time or resources to prioritize literacy for those who need it. It's a whole additional job - students deserve access to a school library with a qualified librarian. #JCSP #schoollibraries
There are just 30 state-funded, professionally staffed school libraries in Ireland - under the JCSP Library Project jcsplibraries.ie / @jcsplibraries. Below are the current Oireachtas Education Committee recommendations - but no progress on their implementation to date.
Happy #InternationalWomensDay from @Killinardencs82 where we're learning that it wasn't so long ago that women couldn't do a lot of things!!

Did you know that @jcsplibraries is 20 years old? Here's a look at the great work done in schools by professional librarians. What if all students had access to such a service? @NormaFoleyTD1

'Underfunded, under-resourced and falling short of international standards'. We eagerly await implementation of the Tánaiste's stated commitment (below) to strengthen resources around libraries in schools. #Budget24 needs to incl implementation of Educ. Committee recommendations
