189 Mr. Cregan asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny appointed to a permanent position in September 2003 is only being paid as a part-time employee; if this person will be paid for bank holidays, school holidays and so on; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerMy Department allocates special needs assistant support to vocational education committees to cater for students with special educational needs. The employment of special needs assistants is a matter for the vocational educational committee concerned.
The person referred to by the Deputy is employed by County Kilkenny Vocational Educational Committee. Queries regarding the employment and payment of the person referred to should therefore be addressed to that VEC.
