Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn)

As part of the new staffing arrangements the 73 small primary schools that were due to lose a classroom post under the budget measure and who are now projecting increased enrolments for September 2012 were given access to the appeals process. 34 of these small schools projected increased enrolments to the required levels had their appeals provisionally upheld by the Staffing Appeals Board at its recent meeting. The retention of these classroom posts will be subject to confirmation of the actual pupil numbers in these schools in September. The summary outcome of the appeals board meeting is on my Department's website. I have included for the Deputy's information the list of the remaining 39 schools that are due to lose a classroom post as a result of the budget measure. Some of these 39 schools did not submit appeals to the April meeting of the Appeals Board.
