Written Answers. - School Staffing.
The school referred to by the Deputy has the services of a shared learning support teacher post which is shared with three other schools in the area. 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. However, I can assure the Deputy that the needs of the school in question will be taken fully into account in the event of additional learning support teacher posts becoming available for distribution.
