Amharc ar fhreagra47 Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to introduce a panel system for part-time and temporary second level teachers; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25904/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take questions 46 and 47 together. Matters in relation to the Redeployment of Teachers are discussed under the auspices of the Teachers Conciliation Council, which is the agreed forum for dealing with the pay and conditions of service of Teachers. The Parties to the forum include representatives of the managerial authorities of schools, the teacher unions, the Department of Education and Skills and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. As the proceedings of the Conciliation Council are confidential it would not be appropriate for me to make any further comment at this time.
