I propose to take Questions Nos. 665 to 677, inclusive, together.

The renewed Programme for Government commits the Government to no further increase in the pupil teacher ratio in primary and second level schools for the lifetime of this Government. It also states that we will provide 500 teaching posts between primary and second levels over the next three years.

My Department proposes to structure a consultation process through meetings with the education partners in the coming weeks in accordance with the commitment to consultation as set out in the renewed Programme. It would be inappropriate for me to comment further on the issues raised by the Deputy pending the outcome of the consultation process.
