889 Mr. Timmins asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding St. Patrick's national school, Greystones, County Wicklow who have been informed that they will lose a teacher in September due to a shortfall of one pupil; if, in view of the fact that the school envisages that it will have in excess of the required number by September, the teacher can be kept on; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9210/02]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 792, 793 and 889 together.
I have requested an official of my Department to visit the school referred to and submit a report on the enrolment numbers and staffing position. I will advise the board of management of the position as soon as the report is examined.
