Vol. 518 No. 2

Written Answers. - School Staffing.

Dan Neville

Question:

147 Mr. Neville asked the Minister for Education and Science when a resource teacher will take up a position to assist a person (details supplied) in County Limerick in view of the fact that this was sanctioned in September 1999. [11264/00]

My Department has sanctioned the delivery of three and a half hours resource teaching support per week to the child in question.

It is a matter for the school authorities to appoint a suitably qualified teacher to provide this tuition service.

Question:

148 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Education and Science the steps, if any, he will take to maintain staffing levels in St. Vincent's convent school, St. Mary's Road, Cork, in view of the fact there is a risk of losing two mainstream class teachers in the coming year. [11265/00]

The staffing schedule for primary schools in the 2000-01 school year has not yet been finalised. My Department has held discussions recently with the managerial authorities of primary schools and the INTO on the issue.

The schedule will be finalised in the near future and the board of management of the school will be advised of the staffing position for the 2000-01 school year.
