Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 November 2014
433. Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of teachers working in the 16 education and training boards who are on indefinite duration contracts; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [45026/14]
View answerThe position is that Education and Training Boards are statutory bodies with their own corporate status established under the Education and Training Boards Act 2013.
The recruitment and appointment of teachers to fill teaching posts is a matter for the individual ETB subject to provisions set out in Section 24 of the Education Act 1998, as amended.
The information requested by the Deputy is not readily available in my Department and would involve an inordinate amount of administrative time to compile.
