Vol. 447 No. 1
343 Ms. McManus asked the Minister for Education if St. Patrick's national school, Curtlestown, Enniskerry, County Wicklow, will be granted the services of a remedial teacher in conjunction with Scoil Mhuire agus Ghearóid, Enniskerry, County Wicklow; and if this teacher can be shared between the two schools; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3154/94]
In the current year, I have announced the appointment of an additional 100 remedial teachers to the primary sector. This brings the total number of such posts now in place to 1,133.
These appointments were made on the basis of priority of need following the collection of data from schools by my Department's primary inspectorate.
I will be keeping the question of further need in this area under review and the needs of all schools, including St. Patrick's national school and Scoil Mhuire agus Ghearóid, will be considered in this context.
