Vol. 501 No. 1
180 Mr. U. Burke asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will provide permanent status for the post of manager of an outdoor education centre (details supplied) in County Galway for a person who has held this post full-time for the past ten years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5412/99]
A working group, under the chairmanship of Mr. Tom Rice, was established to review the operation of recognised outdoor education centres, which are owned and managed by vocational education committees. The report of the working group was presented to me on 12 January 1999. The report is being considered in my Department in regard to the development of future policies relating to vocational education committee outdoor education centres. The status of managers of these centres will be considered in that context.
