Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 7 June 2012
64 Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding mediations at a school (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27645/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraSchool management authorities and the INTO have developed a specific procedure to address staff relations difficulties or conflicts which is contained in a booklet entitled Working Together. This procedure includes a mediation facility whereby a trained mediator from the INTO/management panel may work with a staff in order to achieve a framework to address and resolve the issues of difficulty or controversy. My Department is not a party to this procedure and so is not in a position to comment on the case referred to by the Deputy.
