Question 532: To ask the Minister for Education and Science if she will re-examine the decision not to grant a concessionary teacher to a school (details supplied) in County Kilkenny, who are amalgamating with another school in September 2007, in view of the fact that the school will have one teacher less when both amalgamate; if she will expedite a response; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The schools referred to by the Deputy will amalgamate on the 1st September 2007.

My Department has already granted the proposed amalgamated school a concessionary post. This post was granted in the 2006/2007 school year in order to allow the amalgamation to proceed.
