Question 139: To ask the Minister for Education and Science further to Parliamentary Question No. 240 of 23 June 2005, if she will facilitate a deputation; if she will rescind the reduction in staffing numbers; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26040/05]

The staffing of this school for the 2005-06 school year was considered by the independent staffing appeal board on 14 June 2005. The board, having considered the appeal with regard to the criteria outlined in Department circular 19/02, was satisfied that a departure from the staffing schedule is not warranted in this case.

It would not be appropriate for me to intervene in the operations of the independent appeal board and accordingly, I am not in a position to facilitate a deputation on this matter.
