266. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Education and Skills if his Department's requirements in relation to child protection are being implemented and monitored by his Department at a school (details supplied) in County Limerick following the constructive dismissal of the school principal and the resignation of the school board of management; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17943/14]
View answerI wish to reiterate if the Deputy has any child protection concern in relation to a teacher, it should be reported to the Child and Family Agency without delay.
If any allegation is referred to my Department, it will be reported to the Child and Family Agency in accordance with the requirements of Children First. At the same time, my Department makes the allegation known to the school authority concerned as employer of the subject of the allegation.
