Amharc ar fhreagra102. Deputy John Brassil asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will re-examine and amend the decision not to allow admission to a person (details supplied) to the supplementary panel for September 2017 due to the clerical error in respect on their Teaching Council registration; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 101 and 102 together.
The core function of the redeployment arrangements is to facilitate the redeployment of all surplus permanent/CID holding teachers to schools that have vacancies. Thereafter, schools are required under the panel arrangements to fill permanent vacancies from supplementary panels comprised of eligible fixed-term (temporary/substitute) and part-time teachers.
Circular 0074/2016 sets out the arrangements for panel access for fixed-term/temporary and part-time teachers to the Supplementary Redeployment Panel for the 2017/18 school year.
Eligibility for the 2017/18 Supplementary Panel is confined to those teachers that have met in full all outstanding conditions/satisfied all shortfalls in respect of registration with the Teaching Council, i.e. are fully probated, at 9 December 2016 as agreed with the relevant education partners.
The teacher referred to by the Deputy has now fulfilled the conditions and has been granted access to the Supplementary panel for 2017/18.
