Question:

1449 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Education and Science if she will sanction a teacher for Travellers (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1088/07]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

My Department is aware of an application for a resource teacher for Travellers in the schools referred to by the Deputy.

The application will be examined as quickly as possible and will be considered in the context of the recently published Report and Recommendations for a Traveller Education Strategy. The school authority will be advised of the outcome once the examination has been completed.
