There are no social workers in receipt of salary from my Department in ordinary primary or second level schools. The special schools at Finglas, Clonmel and Lusk each have welfare officers who are employed by the Department of Justice. The four youth encounter projects (two in Dublin and one each in Cork and Limerick) each have a welfare officer attached to them, on secondment from the Department of Justice.
