Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 July 2011
105 Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a person (details supplied) has been placed on a supplementary panel for County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20540/11]
View answerThe primary redeployment panel rules agreed between the relevant education partners and my Department provide supplementary panel rights to eligible fixed-term teachers with between three and five years reckonable teaching service. The teacher referred to by the Deputy has been offered these rights in respect of the 2011-2012 school year. The rules governing the operation of the primary panels are published on my Department's website. It is the intention of the Department to restore recruitment from fixed-term teachers on the supplementary redeployment panels and public advertisement as appropriate at the earliest possible opportunity after all the surplus permanent teachers have been redeployed.
