Question:47 Mr. Hilliard asked the Minister for Education when she will appoint a remedial teacher to serve the Kilbeg, Nobber and Carlanstown national schools, County Meath in view of the need for this appointment. [2962/95]
Written Answers. - Teacher Appointment.
My Department has received a joint application for a remedial teacher from the three schools in question.
As I recently announced, I intend to allocate an additional 55 remedial teacher posts to national schools in the current year. These posts will be allocated on the basis of priority of need following the collection of data from schools by my Department's primary inspectorate.
The needs of all schools, including the schools mentioned by the Deputy, will be considered in the context of this allocation.
