View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 146 and 170 together.
The arrangements for panel access for fixed term (temporary), substitute and part-time teachers are set out in Department Circular 0012/2012 which is available on my Department's website. The panels set up in accordance with the arrangements set out in this circular will be used for appointments to full-time permanent teaching posts but only where those posts are not otherwise required to facilitate the redeployment of surplus permanent and CID holding teachers. My Department notifies applicant teachers of the outcome for panel access as the panels are issued to the various panel operators. It is anticipated that the teacher referred to by the Deputy will be notified in this regard shortly.
