asked the Minister for Education if she will appoint a remedial teacher, as has been recommended by the school inspector and the health board for Ballyguiltenane national school, Ballyguiltenane, Glin, County Limerick; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
Applications for remedial posts are processed in the Department and available remedial posts are allocated in accordance with a priority of need. The application referred to by the Deputy was not placed sufficiently high in order of priority of educational need to warrant the allocation of a post. The health board has no function in the matter of allocation of such posts.
The application will be further considered in the light of the availability of remedial posts in the future.
