Vol. 534 No. 3
298 Mr. Fleming asked the Minister for Education and Science when two full-time learning support teachers will be appointed in place of the one full-time and one shared learning support teacher in Scoil Bhríde national school, Portlaoise, County Laois; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10496/01]
All available learning support teacher posts have been allocated as part of the process of extending the learning support service to every primary school in the country with a pupil-teacher ratio of 10:1 or above. Scoil Bhríde has the services of one full-time and one shared learning support teacher.
I can assure the Deputy that the needs of Scoil Bhríde will be taken fully into account in the event of additional learning support teacher posts becoming available for allocation.
