I propose to take Questions Nos. 637 to 639, inclusive, together.
My Department's records confirm that the teacher referred to by the Deputy is a permanent member of the school staff.
The school in question is the base school for a temporary resource teacher for traveller post shared with another school. I understand that the teacher to whom the Deputy refers is currently assigned to this post. It was recommended to my Department that this post would be made permanent. However, the combined enrolment between both schools is currently twelve pupils so the matter of making the post permanent does not arise.
