Minister for Education and Science (Mr. N. Dempsey)

The qualifications held by the person in question have already been assessed by my Department for the purposes of teaching physical education at second level and were found to be unsuitable. This decision was conveyed to the person's employer, City of Dublin VEC, in July 2002.
