Question:94 Mr. J. Higgins asked the Minister for Education the number and different categories of inspectors employed at primary and post-primary level; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
Written Answers. - School Inspectors.
The numbers employed in the primary and post-primary inspectorates are:
Primary Inspectorate — 81;
Post-Primary Inspectorate — 58.
In addition, there are eight other inspectors whose functions span both the primary and post-primary sectors.
Separate categories of inspectors, as such, do not exist at either primary or post-primary level. There are, of course, different levels of grading in both inspectorates.
