Dinny McGinley

Ceist:

112 Mr. McGinley asked the Minister for Education and Science the number and names of primary schools in County Donegal who have no access to remedial education; and when it is envisaged that further remedial teachers will be appointed to these schools. [10883/98]

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 110 and 112 together.

My capacity to allocate additional remedial teacher posts in any given year is dependent on resource availability and the level of competing demand from other special needs areas. I have to determine priorities and allocate available resources to best effect.

I am currently reviewing provision across the special needs area, including the remedial area, to ensure that all available resources are deployed as effectively as possible.

I assure the Deputies that the needs of the schools to which they refer will be considered in the context of any additional remedial teacher allocations which may be undertaken for the forthcoming school year.

Some 76 mainstream primary schools in County Donegal do not currently have the services of a remedial teacher. Details of these schools are attached.
