Programme for Government. (20 Oct 2009)

Brian Hayes: I find it astonishing that the Minister cannot conclusively inform the House of the total cost of the revised programme for Government for his Department given that the alleged parties to the deal had such a long time to negotiate it. Will the Minister give a specific answer to the following question? In the 24 hours following the publication of the revised programme for Government, three...

If that is not a flight from the profession, I am not sure what is. That is a very serious loss of senior and middle management...

School Staffing. (20 Oct 2009)

Brian Hayes: It is quite clear that the doubt that exists as regards the taxation of the lump sum is a real issue for many principals. I would encourage the Minister to clarify that issue with his Government colleagues once and for all. Where a principal or deputy principal retires, the position is advertised and a new person is placed. However, when it comes to assistant principals, or teachers with...
