Written Answers. - School Staffing.

Joan Burton

Question:

79 Ms Burton asked the Minister for Education and Science the implications for teacher numbers and the pupil ratio of the decision announced in the budget to reduce public service numbers by 5,000 and to impose a freeze on future recruitment; the number of teaching positions that will be affected by these decisions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26691/02]

My Department is in consultation with the Department of Finance regarding the implementation of the decision to which the Deputy refers.

It is not possible at this stage to quantify the implications, if any, of this decision for staffing allocations in the education system.
