Question:386 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will ensure that the staffing schedule due to be published in 1999 for primary schools will retain the current level of staffing at a school (details supplied) in County Cork. [20048/98]
Staffing allocations for primary schools are decided on an annual basis. As yet no decision has been made regarding the staffing in primary schools for the 1999-2000 school year. However, I can assure the Deputy that, as soon as a decision is reached, I will review the staffing situation of the school in question and will correspond directly with the board of management in the matter.
