asked the Minister for Education if, in view of the fact that a teacher has not been replaced at the Holy Family national school, Rathcoole, County Dublin, resulting in the sixth class pupils being combined into two, instead of three, classes of 43 and 44 each, she will appoint a replacement teacher on a temporary basis pending the outcome of the review committee's findings.
Written Answers. - Rathcoole (Dublin) Teacher Replacement.
134.
As the average enrolment at this school is not sufficient to warrant a replacement appointment under the existing schedule of averages, it would not be open to my Department to sanction a temporary appointment, as requested. The organisation of classes is a matter for the principal teacher under the authority of the board of management.
