Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 October 2015
629. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Education and Skills the status of resource persons, resource workers, and resource co-ordinators within Youthreach structures; if those persons must be registered with the Teaching Council; and if they are considered teachers by her Department. [33998/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraCo-ordinators and Resource Persons employed in the Youthreach programme operated by Education and Training Boards (ETBs) are not employed as teachers and as such they are not required to register with the Teaching Council.
They have their own separate terms and conditions which are set out in Department circulars. While the Department does not specify particular qualifications for co-ordinators and resource workers, the ETB as the employer may set out their own requirements for the posts.
