Edward Nealon
Question:327 Mr. Nealon asked the Minister for Education the progress, if any, which has been made on the dispute between the TUI on behalf of its members at St. Angela's College, Sligo, and her Department, arising out of the fact that no full-time permanent appointments at St. Angela's College have been made since 1987, resulting in some members of the union being employed on a temporary basis for almost ten years and further resulting in half of the full-time members of staff at the college currently being on yearly contracts; if her Department will sanction the re-introduction of permanent appointments at St. Angela's College; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
