Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 April 2019
183. Deputy Michael Lowry asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a person (details supplied) can be placed on a supplementary panel for teaching positions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17371/19]
View answerThe core function of the redeployment arrangements is to facilitate the redeployment of all surplus permanent teachers to other schools that have vacancies. Thereafter, schools are required under the panel arrangements to fill permanent vacancies from supplementary panels comprised of eligible fixed-term (temporary/substitute) and part-time teachers.
The arrangements for panel access for fixed term (temporary/substitute) and part-time teachers for the 2019/20 school year are set out in Department Circular 0078/2018 which was published on the Department website and notified to the Education Partners i.e. School Management Bodies, Teacher Union etc. on 22 November 2018.
The period for submitting applications was between 22 November 2018 and 21 December 2018. The circular made clear that late applications would not be considered.
