The person referred to by the Deputy has been requested to submit her qualifications and transcripts of her qualification results. On receipt of these papers a decision will be made regarding her qualifications for the position advertised. If her qualifications are in order, arrears of both basic salary and qualification allowances will be backdated to her date of appointment together with any incremental credit due.

The school in question currently has the support of two resource teachers (RTTs) for traveller pupils. I can confirm that an application for a third RTT is receiving consideration. A decision will be conveyed to the school authorities as soon as this process has been completed.
