Question:

290 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Science if a person (details supplied) in County Kildare will be offered a teaching position in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [23217/04]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

The appointment of teachers by Vocational Education Committees, VECs, is a matter for the relevent VEC, subject to agreed procedures. As my Department has no role in the appointment of individual teachers in the VEC, it would not be appropriate for me or my Department to intervene in any such matter.
