243 Mrs. T. Ahearn asked the Minister for Education when a remedial teacher will be sanctioned, on a shared basis, between Ballymacarbry national school and Newcastle national school in County Tipperary; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
247 Mrs. T. Ahearn asked the Minister for Education when a remedial teacher will be sanctioned for a school (details supplied) in County Tipperary in view of the urgent need for such a facility; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
257 Mr. Bradford asked the Minister for Education if she will appoint a remedial teacher to serve Killeagh, Inch, Kyle and Park national schools in County Cork.
258 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Education if she has any plans to provide a remedial teacher for Archbishop McQuaid national school, Loughlinstown, County Dublin.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 243, 247, 257 and 258 together.
As part of many educational initiatives under the Programme for Economic and Social Progress I am pleased that it was possible to have a further 80 additional remedial posts appointed in June 1991.
The appointments were made following the collection of data by my Department's primary inspectorate from schools and were allocated on the basis of greatest remedial need.
The question of further remedial teacher appointments will be kept under review.
