Question 1166: To ask the Minister for Education and Science the progress made in regard to the commitment given in the programme for Government to increase the number of release days for teaching principals at primary level and expand the pilot scheme of substitute cover for principals release days; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

All Programme for Government commitments to improve public services are contingent on the economic and budgetary environment and the need for prudent expenditure and fiscal management. The commitment in relation to increasing the number of release days for teaching principals and expanding the pilot scheme of substitute cover for principals release days can only be looked at and considered in the context of the overall economic and budgetary position that might prevail in the coming years and the competing priorities for available resources.
