I am aware of the case referred to by the Deputy concerning the allocation of a resource teacher for Travellers post for pupils in the school in question.

The school in question has the services of a shared RTT post which is currently based in another school in the area. My Department's inspectorate has recently reviewed the needs of all Traveller pupils in the area concerned and has recommended a reorganisation of the delivery of this service to the schools in question. My officials are currently examining the recommendation and will be in contact with the relevant school authorities to advise them of the outcome in the near future.
