Following the Government decision on the moratorium on promotions in the public service my Department issued a circular to all schools indicating that with effect from 27 March, 2009 schools may no longer make any appointment to a post of responsibility including those that may have fallen vacant on or before 27 March, 2009. The post referred to by the Deputy is subject to this moratorium. It is a matter for the school authority to re-organise and prioritise the appropriate duties for the post of responsibility holders in the context of implementing the moratorium.
