Written Answers. - Remedial Teachers' Appointments.

Brendan Kenneally

Ceist:

250 Mr. Kenneally asked the Minister for Education the plans, if any, she has to appoint remedial teachers in the primary school sector in 1996; if so, the number of posts that will be involved; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6216/96]

Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

I am not in a position at present to make remedial teacher posts available to the primary school sector.

When I am in a position to extend the remediation service, all schools who have applied for a remedial teaching post will be given every consideration.
