Jan O'Sullivan
Question:360 Ms O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Education and Science further to Parliamentary Question No 248 of 20 May 2003, if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a school has to go in the first instance to primary staffing appeals board to retain a teacher granted under Department circular 19/02 and therefore in effect there is no appeal system as the board's decision is final; the mechanism Gaelscoil Sairseal, Limerick, will have to retain the teacher already granted, particularly as circumstances have not changed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
