The Government is being called on to urgently address the lack of PE facilities at some secondary schools around the country

The principal of Coláiste Eamann Rís in Cork city says he may be forced to rent a space in order to offer PE as a Leaving Cert exam subject

5% of secondary schools around the country do not have a PE Hall and the Education Department says it may take until 2026 before the examine the issue

Speaking to RedFM News principal Aaron Wolfe says the Government needs to invest in young people and their futures

"In the circular flow economy half the money goes back to the department anyway, through taxes, PRSI and employment, so it is a win/win for the Government really. Investing in young people will always give benefit to the country, because you know  they are the most important resource we have because they're our future, and they deserve an excellent form of education in this country"
