Seán Crowe (Dublin South West, Sinn Fein)

This was a technical question and, with the exception of teachers affected by it, people are not interested in it. I have come across a number of cases of this. It may involve teachers with contracts of indefinite duration who do not have 22 hours of teaching. I know of a teacher who has five hours and 20 minutes paid by the Department, with the rest paid by the school. Now that another teacher has been redeployed to school, that teacher is in a crisis situation. These are awkward cases and it is difficult to legislate for them. People seek information on the situation. Perhaps there could be a circular or advice given on it.
