Provision for teachers' salaries in primary, secondary, comprehensive, community and ETB schools amounts to €3.674 billion in 2014. This provides for some 62,000 teachers and 1,380 additional posts, including 300 additional resource teaching posts. Given the amount of money involved, it is extremely difficult to be exact for every subhead. When the Estimates are settled, the aim is to ensure sufficient moneys are available overall to meet all commitments. We have been able to adjust the subhead through the Supplementary Estimate.
