asked the Minister for Education the number of examiners that were appointed for the leaving certificate oral Irish examination in 1982, 1983 and 1984; the number of years of experience each examiner had; the number of applicants for the position of examiners that failed to get these appointments; if those who failed to be re-appointed are entitled to receive an inspector's report on their work; and if not the reason.
Written Answers. - Appointment of Examiners.
571.
The figures requested in regard to the appointment of assistant examiners for the Leaving Certificate Oral Irish tests are as follows:
|
Year |
No. of Applicants |
No. of Appointments |
Range of Experience of those Appointed |
|
1982 |
556 |
467 |
0-17 years |
|
1983 |
520 |
483 |
0-18 years |
|
1984 |
572 |
501 |
0-19 years |
In view of the numbers involved it would not be feasible to list the number of years experience each individual examiner had. A statistical record is not kept of the number of years of experience of each assistant examiner on this work.
Appointment as assistant examiner in any one year does not confer a claim for appointment in a subsequent year and persons not re-appointed are not entitled to receive an inspector's report on their work in a previous year.
