Mary O'Rourke

Question:

85 Mrs. O'Rourke asked the Minister for Education if she will review the situation regarding a national school (details supplied) in County Westmeath; if she will leave in place the second assistant in this school in view of the fact that this second assistant was granted last year and excellent work is being carried out, particularly in the remedial area. [2842/96]

Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

It is not possible, at this stage, to indicate the likely staffing situation at the school for the 1996-97 school year as the staffing schedule for next year has not yet been determined.

The schedule will be finalised shortly and my officials will correspond with the board of management in the matter.
