110. Deputy Emer Higgins asked the Minister for Education the number of female head teachers; the number of female teachers who applied for the position of head teacher in 2019; the number of male head teachers in all girls secondary schools; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [28956/20]
View answer`The information available from my Departments' database indicates that there were 231 female principals employed in voluntary secondary and Community/ Comprehensive schools in the 2018/19 school year. There were 2,165 female principals employed in primary schools. The information in relation to the number of female principal teachers employed in ETBs would have to be obtained from each ETB.
The other information requested by the Deputy is not available in my Department.
