I propose to take Questions Nos. 96, 100 and 102 together. I am not in a position at present to make remedial teacher posts available to primary schools. I will continue to review needs in this area and consider how best these needs can be addressed within available resources. The needs of all schools, including the schools referred to by the Deputies, will be considered within this context.
Twenty two ordinary national schools in County Cavan have applied for a remedial teaching service. The corresponding figure for County Monaghan is 19 schools.
