The Department has received an application from Killeshin and Carlow town national schools for a shared remedial teacher. The applications for remedial teachers for national schools are being processed at present in my Department. Remedial teaching posts are allocated in accordance with a priority of need and the application referred to by the Deputy will be considered in the light of the availability of remedial posts for 1986-87. I will contact the chairperson of the board of management when a decision is made.
