Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 May 2012
282 Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reasons teaching experience abroad is not recognised here which would allow teachers to be included on the supplementary panel; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25079/12]
View answerThe eligibility terms for access to the supplementary panel are based on a teacher's service in the primary school system in a fixed term, substitute and part-time capacity. There are no plans to expand these arrangements to include teaching experience in schools outside of Ireland. The detailed arrangements are set out in my Department's Circular 0012/2012 which is available on my Department's website.
