Question 416: To ask the Minister for Education and Science the reason a person (details supplied) in Dublin 3 was treated in an uncaring and unprofessional manner when they reported the matter in the 1990s; and the role of the CBS and CPMSA on this matter. [34852/05]

My Department first became aware of the case referred to by the Deputy in October 1997 when the board of management of the school, in which the teacher concerned was employed, informed my Department that the teacher had been suspended. The case was closely monitored by my Department in the ensuing months and, in March 1998, the board informed my Department that the teacher had resigned. Recognition as a teacher was subsequently withdrawn from the teacher concerned.

It would not be appropriate for me to comment on the way in which the matter was dealt with by the CBS or the CPSMA when the report was made to them. However, I have arranged for a copy of the Deputy's question and my reply to be forwarded to them.
