Michael D. Higgins
Question:267 Mr. M. Higgins asked the Minister for Education and Science when he will appoint a resource teacher to St. Catherine's National School, Rush, County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3559/01]
Written Answers. - School Staffing.
I understand the school referred to by the Deputy has the services of a resource teacher post which is currently shared with three other schools.
My Department's inspectorate is reviewing the existing sharing arrangement with a view to improving the level of resource teacher support provided to the schools in question. The needs of the school to which he refers will be taken fully into account in this process.
The review will be completed as soon as possible and the schools involved will be notified of any revised arrangements.
