asked the Minister for Education if he will state the percentage of untrained teachers who have been teaching for ten years or more.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Untrained Teachers.

Would the Minister consider fixing some arbitrary figure such as ten or 12 years and accept that the untrained teacher is now competent?
That is a matter that can be examined.
