Vol. 415 No. 7
73 Mr. Boylan asked the Minister for Education if, in view of the urgent need for a remedial teacher to be appointed to a school (details supplied) in County Cavan, he will give the application every consideration with a view to making an appointment as soon as possible; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Eighty additional remedial posts serving over 240 schools were allocated in June 1991 as part of arrangements under the Programme for Economic and Social Progress.
These appointments were made following the collection of data and information by my Department's primary inspectorate from schools. The posts were then allocated on the basis of priority of need, as indicated by the information collected by the inspectorate.
The question of further remedial teacher appointments will be kept under review.
