Vol. 505 No. 3
269 Mr. Howlin asked the Minister for Education and Science if a remedial teacher will be appointed for September 1999 to St. Mary's primary school, Parnell Avenue, Enniscorthy, County Wexford; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13561/99]
My priority at present is to ensure that all schools that currently have no remedial service will be given access to this service from September next 1999. Arrangements to put this extension of service into place are currently being made in my Department. As part of this development, primary schools with a pupil teacher ratio of below 10:1 and which currently have no remedial service, may apply for a service where they can demonstrate the particular needs of their pupils.
