I wish to draw the Deputy's attention to my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 137 of 10 May 2011.

The case to which the Deputy refers relates to the allocation of the 5% administration fee provided for in the supervision/substitution scheme, the arrangements for which are set out in my Department's Circular 26/2009. These arrangements were put in place following agreement with the relevant staffing and management interests and only apply with effect from the commencement of the 2008/09 school year.

The arrangements in place for the administration of the supervision/substitution scheme in VEC schools prior to the 2008/09 school year are a matter for individual VECs. In the case referred to by the Deputy, that is Co Kerry VEC (Kerry Education Service).
