Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

My Department published Circular 0045/2016 on 14 July 2016. The Circular notifies Managerial Authorities, Education and Training Boards and teachers of the arrangements for implementation of the Lansdowne Road Agreement in respect of post-primary teachers.

The Circular is available at http://www.education.ie/en/Circulars-and-Forms/Active-Circulars/cl0045_2016.pdf
