Question 282: To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the reasons teaching experience abroad is not recognised here which would allow teachers to be included on the supplementary panel; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25079/12]

The eligibility terms for access to the supplementary panel are based on a teacher's service in the primary school system in a fixed term, substitute and part-time capacity. There are no plans to expand these arrangements to include teaching experience in schools outside of Ireland. The detailed arrangements are set out in my Department's Circular 0012/2012 which is available on my Department's website.
