I welcome all the witnesses today. At the outset I must say there is a good bit to get through for everyone, especially if time is short, so at times the debate may become robust and I may cut off some speakers. It is not personal, it is just the nature of the beast. I hope this is okay. I will start with the...

It is not about what the circular contains. Obviously there are many circulars - and Mr. Ó Foghlú has said they are too numerous for him to recall - but I am mentioning two. The witness can take it that they exist because I have them in front of me. Are these circulars for the discretional use of ETBs and schools or are they to be followed to the...

If the Department issues a circular and, for example, I am an ETB, and Deputy Shane Cassells is a teacher I want to get rid of, do I have to follow that circular under the law or is it discretional for me to choose not to follow it?

Is Mr. Ó Foghlú aware there are cases that have concluded where the processes were deemed, effectively, to be discretionary?

I want to know what is the Department's position.

I have written to him about it specifically, and to the Minister also to answer this question - it was not for consideration here today - and the reply to me was that the matter was not one for the Department, it was for the ETBs. This exposes the State to costs, aside from also exposing individual teachers to costs if they lose. Mr. Ó Foghlú...
