Question:

145 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Education and Science if his Department will replace the educational officer who was available for Mayo VEC in partnership with Meitheal Mhaigh Eo. [30546/03]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 144 and 145 together.

The continued secondment of teachers currently employed in area based partnerships as education co-ordinators has been approved up to the end of the 2003/04 academic year. The existing sanction was due to expire on 31 December 2003. The question of filling vacancies for education co-ordinators will be considered in the context of departmental Estimates and priorities for 2004. A review of the arrangements relating to the secondment of teachers as education co-ordinators will be carried out early in 2004.
