Vol. 572 No. 6

Written Answers. - Staff Secondment.

Ruairí Quinn

Ceist:

216 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for Education and Science if the existing secondments of personnel, employed by his Department, to an educational organisation (details supplied) will be secured sine die, as promised by his predecessor when he visited the centre on 19 May 1998; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24012/03]

In accordance with existing procedures, all secondments of teachers and the conditions attaching to such secondments are reviewed each year. Following a review of the case referred to by the Deputy, my Department has decided that secondments to the organisation in question cannot be sanctioned on the same basis as heretofore. However, it has notified the organisation that secondments will be considered for the 2003-04 school year provided requirements with regard to the recoupment of the costs involved are met.
