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 application will be further considered together with the other applications on hand in the light of the availability of such posts in the future.
