Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 February 2012
172 Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Education and Skills in view of the review currently being carried out into DEIS schools, if consideration has been given to teachers being placed on the redeployment panel list; and if the publication of the panel list will be deferred until the review has been completed. [6618/12]
View answerMy Department is currently finalising the report, which I requested, on the impact of the withdrawal of posts under these older schemes on DEIS Band 1 and Band 2 primary schools only. I will then make a decision on the final outcome for the individual schools involved.
My Department will be publishing its Circular shortly which will set out the staffing arrangements at primary level for the 2012/13 school year. The circular will include details for the operation of the redeployment arrangements for surplus permanent teachers.
The Department will be using its website for communicating with schools in relation to the operation of the redeployment panels and on the progress on clearing them.
