Ms Andrea Feeney:

We use all mechanisms at our disposal. We advertise through the teacher unions, school management, representative bodies, the Joint Managerial Body, the Association of Community and Comprehensive Schools, Education and Training Boards Ireland and the National Association of Principals and Deputy Principals. We also communicate directly to anyone who is on our lists from previous years. I am surprised the Deputy did not receive an email from us over the past while because we contacted everybody as part of the process. We have contacted principals directly to appeal to them to exercise their good offices as school leaders in encouraging participation in the staffroom. We are reaching out in as many different ways as we can. We have mentioned the "Earn, learn and understand" campaign, a poster campaign supplemented by a video run on social media. We will continue to use all channels at our disposal to reach teachers.
