Eamon Gilmore
Question:
408
Mr. Gilmore
asked the
Minister for Education
if she will give a list of the vacancies which have arisen since 1 January 1993, for principals and vice-principals of primary and secondary level schools; if, in respect of each of these schools, the outgoing principal or vice-principal was male or female; if the schools were co-educational, boys or girls; and the gender of the successful applicants for each of the vacancies referred to.
In regard to the primary sector there were 60 male and 92 female principals appointed since 1 January 1993. In addition there were three males and 15 females appointed as acting-principals in the same period.
There were four males and 31 female vice-principals appointed in primary schools since 1 January 1993. In addition there were ten females and one male appointed as acting vice-principals.
I regret that the information sought by the Deputy in relation to outgoing principals and vice-principals, and the category of schools involved is not readily available.
