Written Answers Nos. 452-466
452. Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Education and Skills if the Christian Brothers are planning to donate land they own at Summerhill in Nenagh, County Tipperary, as part of an arrangement with his Department to compensate the survivors of residential abuse. [38769/12]
Amharc ar fhreagra453. Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Education and Skills if it is possible for his Department to help facilitate a partnership arrangement between the Christian Brothers and Nenagh Town Council in order that land owned by the former at Summerhill Nenagh, County Tipperary, may be developed to provide essential amenities which would include three GAA pitches and a running track for public use. [38770/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 452 and 453 together.
As part of its response to the call for additional contributions following the publication of the Ryan Report, the Christian Brothers proposed to transfer school playing fields and associated lands, including that at Summerhill, Nenagh, to an independent and separate education trust to be jointly held by the Government and the Edmund Rice Schools Trust. The playing fields are currently licensed to schools of the Trust. I have requested the congregation to consider transferring the beneficial ownership of the playing fields and associated lands directly to the State, which would continue to licence the playing fields to the schools concerned. My officials are pursuing this matter.
454. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will confirm the status of the report of the International Review Panel on the structures of teacher education; if he has accepted all of the recommendations of the report; if he will outline in detail the implications of the report for a college (details supplied) in County Sligo; the timeline for the implementation of the report's recommendations in relation to this college; his plans for this college; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38785/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI have accepted the recommendations set out in a report commissioned by the Higher Education Authority (HEA) on the structures of initial teacher education. The purpose of the report, which I requested, was to identify new possible structures to improve initial teacher education in Ireland so that it is comparable with the best in the world.
The international panel of education experts recommended that teacher education be provided in six "centres for teacher education". Currently there are 19 state funded providers of ITE (and three non-state funded) offering more than 40 college programmes in primary and post-primary teaching. The new collaborations recommended by the international panel will mean that a smaller number of centres for ITE exist, but that they offer education across multiple sectors from early childhood to primary, to post primary to adult education. These centres for teacher education will also possess a critical mass in terms of research capacity which is not always possible in smaller institutions. The new configurations will mean strong research bases can be created in each centre.
I have asked the HEA to submit a detailed report, before the end of the year, on how to implement the recommendations of the Panel. It is far too early at present to set out precise timelines or plans for individual colleges. I will consider the implementation plan from the HEA and will then report back to Cabinet, probably in the new year, with more formal proposals including financial implications.
455. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Education and Skills when a student grant will be approved in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Laois; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38788/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe decision on eligibility for a student grant is a matter for the relevant grant awarding authority.
The Deputy will appreciate that in the absence of all of the relevant details that would be contained in an individual's application form and supporting documentation, it would not be possible for me to say whether or not a student should qualify for a maintenance grant. Officials in my Department have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) that an application was received from this student on 19 June 2012. I understand that further documentation was requested from the student on 30 August last. When this documentation has been received and assessed, the student will be notified directly of the outcome.
456. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Education and Skills the expected date on which a school (details supplied) in County Kildare will be in a position to open the new school buildings constructed there; the reason for the delay in opening the new buildings; if he will outline all existing planning impediments and compliance orders related to the new building works; if he will provide details of his Department's correspondence with the construction company regarding the delay in opening the new buildings; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38795/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Deputy will be aware that the Department of Education and Skills recently terminated the contractor's obligation to complete the works at St Anne's National School in Ardclough, Co Kildare. The Department is liaising with the school authorities and has instructed the Design Team to commence work on procuring a completion contractor to complete the works. Subject to no issues arising, it is anticipated that the project will be completed in the coming months.
457. Deputy Simon Harris asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of teachers at primary level that are not currently Garda vetted; the number of teachers at secondary level that are not currently Garda vetted; the plans that are in place to ensure that all teachers are Garda vetted; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38840/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe arrangements for vetting of teaching and non-teaching staff were introduced in September 2006. In late 2010, my Department issued Circular 0063/2010 which updated and clarified the requirements for Garda vetting as part of recruitment procedures for all teaching and non-teaching positions.
Responsibility for complying with the vetting requirements rests with the school authority as employer of school staff. However, as the Teaching Council is the registered organisation that liaises with the Garda Central Vetting Unit (GCVU) for the vetting of teachers, an indication of the level of vetting that has been carried out for teachers is that, as of July 2012, approximately 31,000 of circa 73,000 teachers who are registered with the Teaching Council have been vetted.
The Deputy will also be aware that in July this year the Minister for Justice, Equality and Defence published the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Bill 2012. This legislation will place the vetting of persons working with children or vulnerable adults on a statutory basis and will also set out the statutory requirements for the vetting of persons employed in schools.
458. Deputy Dominic Hannigan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will outline, in tabular form, both the number and the percentage of women and men on State boards under the aegis of his Department in each of the past ten years; if he will provide the most up-to-date figures available regarding the number and percentage of women and men on State boards under the aegis of his Department in 2012; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38855/12]
Amharc ar fhreagra465. Deputy Anne Ferris asked the Minister for Education and Skills the steps he is taking to ensure that State boards have at least 40% of each gender, as provided for in the programme for Government; the percentage at present; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39151/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 458 and 465 together.
Statistics on the representation of women on state boards have been collated centrally since 2003. Data for the years 2003 to 2011, showing the breakdown by gender for State Boards under the aegis of my Department, is set out below as requested by the Deputy.
The Programme for Government includes a commitment to ensure that all State Boards have at least 40 per cent of each gender. The most recent data available, which is the position as at 31st December 2011, shows that 40% of Ministerial representatives on State Bodies under the aegis of my Department were female and 60% were male. Including members nominated by other bodies, 43% of the total membership of these State Bodies was female and 57% were male.

460. Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide a breakdown of the annual wage scale paid to senior FÁS staff earning in excess of €80,000 per annum based on the one to six grading system. [38900/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe breakdown of pay scales which contain amounts in excess of €80,000 is as follows: Contributory Scale Grade 1 - 189,115 Grade 3 - 134,523, 140,636, 147,262, 153,885 Grade 4 - 84,132, 87,595, 91,033, 94,496, 97,417, 100,446 (Long Service Increment 1), 103,472 (Long Service Increment 2) Grade 6 - 65,130, 67,700, 70,381, 72,904, 75,406, 77,899, 79,361, 79,540, 82,027 (Long Service Increment 1), 84,517 (Long Service Increment 2). Non – contributory Scale Grade 4 - 80,051, 83,337, 86,604, 89,898, 92,672, 95,550 (Long Service Increment 1), 98,424 (Long Service Increment 2) Grade 6 - 61,911, 64,410, 66,987, 69,384, 71,761, 74,129, 75,518, 75,688, 78,051 (Long Service Increment 1), 80,417 (Long Service Increment 2). Ex National Rehabilitation Board Scale Grade 6 - 65,185, 67,541, 69,884, 72,235, 74,581, 75,934, 78,303 (Long Service Increment 1), 80,679 (Long Service Increment 2).
461. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a person (details supplied) in County Kildare will qualify for the higher education grant despite being found ineligible under Article 15(7)(c)(i) of the student grant scheme legislation as they had to take a year out from study due to medical reasons; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38901/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe decision on eligibility for new student grant applications from the 2012/13 academic year is a matter for the centralised grant awarding authority, Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI), a division of the City of Dublin VEC. If an individual applicant considers that she/he has been unjustly refused a student grant, or that the rate of grant awarded is not the correct one, she/he may appeal, in the first instance, to SUSI. Where an individual applicant has had an appeal turned down in writing by SUSI and remains of the view that SUSI has not interpreted the scheme correctly in his/her case, an appeal form outlining the position may be submitted by the applicant to the independent Student Grant Appeals Board. The relevant appeal form will be available on request from SUSI.
462. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the options available to persons (details supplied) in County Kildare to obtain student finance; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38967/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe decision on eligibility for new student grant applications from the 2012/13 academic year is a matter for the new centralised grant awarding authority, SUSI (Student Universal Support Ireland). The Deputy will appreciate that in the absence of all of the relevant details that would be contained in an individual's application form and supporting documentation, it would not be possible for me to say whether or not a student should qualify for a maintenance grant. If an individual applicant considers that she/he has been unjustly refused a student grant, or that the rate of grant awarded is not the correct one, she/he may appeal, in the first instance, to SUSI. Where an individual applicant has had an appeal turned down, in writing, by SUSI, and remains of the view that SUSI has not interpreted the scheme correctly in his/her case, an appeal form outlining the position may be submitted by the applicant to the independent Student Grant Appeals Board. The relevant appeal form will be available on request from SUSI.
463. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a person (details supplied) in County Clare will be facilitated with school transport; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38977/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraChanges to the School Transport Scheme for Post Primary children were announced in the 2011 Budget and derived from recommendations in the Value for Money Review of the scheme. This means that from the 2012/13 school year, school transport eligibility for pupils will be determined by reference to the distance they reside from their nearest post-primary education centre having regard to ethos and language. Bus Éireann who operate the school transport scheme on behalf of my Department has advised that the pupil referred to in the details supplied is not attending her nearest post-primary education centre. Children who are not eligible for school transport may apply for school transport on a concessionary basis subject to a number of terms and conditions which are detailed in the scheme. The changes to the Post Primary School Transport Scheme will be applied equitably on a national basis.
464. D'fhiafraigh Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív den Aire Oideachais agus Scileanna cén fáth a tharraing sé siar an deich n-uaire an chloig de mhúinteoireacht tacaíochta foghlama ginearálta a raibh scoláirí Scoil Náisiúnta Inis Meáin ina teideal, céard é an dochar measta a dhéanfaidh sé seo do na scoláirí; agus an ndéanfaidh sé ráiteas ina thaobh. [39047/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraDe réir na socruithe foirne atá leagtha amach i gCiorclán na Roinne 0007/12 tá an scoil dá dtagraíonn an Teachta ina scoil aon-oide rangsheomra anois. Cuireadh múinteoir buan a bhí ag fónamh sa scoil ar an bpainéal ath-imlonnaithe don scoilbhliain 2012/13, de réir mar is caighdeánach do mhúinteoir buan ar bith i scoil ina gcailltear post. Dhiúltaigh sí, áfach, rogha ar bith de na roghanna eile fostaíochta a tairgeadh di a ghlacadh agus, dá bhrí sin, de réir na socruithe ath-imlonnaithe, níl sí ar an bpárolla poiblí a thuilleadh.
Bhí sé mar rogha amháin de na roghanna fostaíochta don mhúinteoir buan barrachais seo go mbeadh sí i gcónaí lonnaithe sa scoil mar mhúinteoir tacaíochta foghlama ar bhonn comhroinnte leis an scoil ar Inis Oírr, an t-oileán in aice láimhe. Bhí sé i gceist go ndéanfaí na socruithe oibriúcháin chuige seo a chinneadh ag leibhéal áitiúil na scoile.
De réir na socruithe ath-imlonnaithe do mhúinteoirí tá sé mar choinníoll i ngach cás ina leithdháiltear post múinteora do scoil go dtógann an scoil múinteoir barrachais ar bith atá ar an bpainéal ath-imlonnaithe. Tá sé mar fhreagracht ar na Boird Bhainistíochta go léir comhoibriú go hiomlán leis na socruithe ath-imlonnaithe do mhúinteoirí. Ní dhearna an scoil i gceist an tairiscint riachtanach cheapacháin don mhúinteoir barrachais agus, dá bhrí sin, ní raibh feidhm a thuilleadh leis an leithdháileadh tacaíochta foghlama ón Roinn.
Tá sé curtha in iúl ag an Roinn don scoil go bhfuil sí, dar ndóigh, toilteanach an leithdháileadh tacaíochta foghlama a thabhairt ar ais ach ar an gcoinníoll go mbeidh sé soiléir go n-urramóidh an scoil na socruithe náisiúnta ath-imlonnaithe. Ina leith seo, tá sé curtha in iúl don scoil go bhfuil cead anois aici dul ar aghaidh agus ceapachán a dhéanamh i leith an leithdháileadh páirtaimseartha thacaíochta foghlama ar an gcoinníoll go n-áirítear i measc na socruithe conartha dó choinníoll go bhfuil an ceapachán faoi réir ag an bhféidearthacht go gcuirfí deireadh leis sa chás go dteastódh an post ón Roinn chun éascú leis an bpróiseas ath-imlonnaithe.
466. Deputy Dan Neville asked the Minister for Education and Skills his views on a matter (details supplied) regarding post-primary teachers; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39239/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe core purpose of the redeployment arrangements is to redeploy a teacher who is surplus in one school to a vacancy in another school. The redeployment of all surplus permanent teachers is key to the Department's ability to manage within its payroll budget and ceiling on teacher numbers.
Teacher allocations to all second level schools are approved annually by my Department in accordance with established rules based on recognised pupil enrolment. Schools are permitted to fill vacancies that arise within their approved staffing schedule. A school may contact my Department's Teacher Allocation Section if it needs to clarify the position in relation to filling a vacancy.
