Written Answers. - School Absenteeism.
The National Educational Welfare Board is now the single national body with responsibility for school attendance matters. It is an independent statutory body established under the Education (Welfare) Act 2000, to implement the provisions of the Act.
The appointment and assignment of staff are matters for consideration by the board. I will arrange that the Deputy's concerns are conveyed to the board.
