113 Mr. Martin asked the Minister for Education the number of unqualified guidance counsellors currently working in post-primary schools. [11694/97]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 112 and 113 together.
I regret that the information requested by the Deputy is not readily available in my Department. However, I can confirm that the overall guidance counsellor allocation to the second level sector is 567 whole-time teacher equivalents.
