Ms Treasa Kirk:

It is important to highlight that in the review that will be carried out over the next year, various stakeholders will be consulted and the report will be published. The Department of Education and Skills is committed to providing continuing professional development through various organisations such as COGG and An tSeirbhís um Fhorbairt Ghairmiúil do Mhúinteoirí, which is also known as the PDST. Cuireann na coistí gairmoideachais cúrsaí ar fáil saor in aisce chomh maith. Mar a dúirt an Seanadóir Ó Clochartaigh, tá cúrsaí iarchéime ar fáil i nGaillimh freisin.
