Minister for Education and Skills

I propose to take Questions Nos. 107 to 109, inclusive, together.

The information requested by the Deputy in relation to teachers in Secondary, Community and Comprehensive Schools is not available on a county basis. VEC teachers are employees of VECs and are paid on 33 separate VEC payrolls. Accordingly, the Department does not have the information which the Deputy is seeking for teachers in VECs.
