Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 December 2023
362. Deputy Jennifer Murnane O'Connor asked the Minister for Education if a new recruitment campaign for Irish sign language-specialist classroom support will be launched early in the new year. [55363/23]
View answerI would like to thank the deputy for the question and would advise that the NCSE intend to undertake a further recruitment campaign for the Irish Sign Language Specialist Classroom Support in early 2024.
I am delighted to advise that the first two appointees to the Irish Sign Language Specialist Classroom Support role are presently supporting pupils in accessing the curriculum in their schools.
In addition the recent ISL adviser recruitment campaign has just been completed and the first two ISL advisers will be taking up their roles in early 2024 following completion of the normal clearance processes.
