Over 2.000 schools across Ireland have more than 30 pupils in the classrooms- that's according to today’s Irish Mirror.

The figures obtained by the paper show that in the last academic year some of the primary schools had to accommodate 30 or more pupils in their classes. The situation had been described by teachers as “shocking”.

Simon Lewis, Principal of Carlow Educate Together National School joined Kieran Cuddihy on the show.
