Vol. 403 No. 9
91 Mr. Connor asked the Minister for Education the number of remedial teachers in the primary sector sanctioned as first time appointments in the years 1988, 1989 and 1990; the names or locations of the schools where these new remedial teachers were appointed; and the ratio of remedial teachers to primary school pupil population in each one of the Twenty-six Counties in the State.
No remedial posts in primary schools were sanctioned in the years 1988 and 1989. I was pleased to be able to sanction 27 posts for remedial teachers as first time appointments in 1990.
It would be a matter for individual boards of management to indicate whether they have the services of a remedial teacher.
