View answer238. Deputy Thomas Byrne asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of departmental circulars issued in respect of voluntary post primary schools, their staff or management in total in each of the years 2000 to 2017. [30529/18]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 237 and 238 together.
In accordance with the various functions and divisions of my Department, numerous departmental sections issue circulars which may relate, to some extent, to matters pertaining to staff or management in schools. For example, in 2017, over 80 circulars issued, a significant proportion of which would have had relevance to school management and staff.
A comprehensive database of Circulars since 2006 is accessible and searchable through the Department’s website www.education.ie.
If the Deputy wishes to provide further detail on any specific issue of interest, my Department will seek to be of assistance.
