Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 November 2012
382. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Skills the amount of funding a school (details supplied) in Dublin 1 received in 2012 in respect of salaries, teachers, caretakers and so on; if they will have to increase fees if teachers' salaries are cut and if there is a plan to erode PTR. [48694/12]
View answerThe total gross salaries paid to teachers employed in the school referred to by the Deputy in the 2011/12 school year was €3.6081 million. The salaries of the special needs assistants employed in the school in the same period cost €75,754 and salaries of clerical officers cost €46,028. All options to achieve the necessary budgetary savings required in 2013 are being examined in my Department at present. Accordingly, it would not be appropriate to comment on the specifics of any possible potential cost saving measures at this time.
