The mainstream staffing of a primary school is determined by reference to the enrolment of the school on 30th September of the previous school year. The actual number of mainstream posts sanctioned is determined by reference to a staffing schedule which is issued to all primary schools each year.

According to data submitted to my Department by the Board of Management, the enrolment in the school on 30th September 2006 was 14 pupils. In accordance with the staffing schedule (Circular 0020/2007), which is also available on my Department's website and a hard copy of which will be issued to all primary schools shortly, the mainstream staffing in the school for the 2007/08 school year will be a Principal and 1 mainstream class teacher.
