Vol. 547 No. 3

Written Answers. - School Staffing.

Seymour Crawford

Ceist:

437 Mr. Crawford asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will consider an application for an additional resource teacher for St. Patrick's boys school in Ballybay, County Monaghan; his views on whether this is a serious matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3648/02]

The school referred to by the Deputy has the services of a full-time resource teacher post which is shared with three other schools in the area.

My Department's inspectorate is considering the results of a screening programme undertaken by the National Educational Psychological Service in the Monaghan area. The process also includes a review of existing resource teaching provision in the Monaghan area including St. Patrick's boys school, Ballybay. When this review has been completed, my Department will be in contact with the school authorities.
