Data from the Child and Family Agency Tusla has shown a dramatic increase in primary pupil absenteeism in recent years with the latest figures showing that 8.6% of school days at primary level were lost to pupil absences in the 2022/23 school year.
This compares to 5.2% of school days lost in the year prior to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2018/19. Emma O'Kelly reports.
