To ask the Minister for Education and Skills when voluntary applications for relocation of teachers from one educational institution to another will be introduced; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that this was agreed under the Croke Park Agreement; if he is committed to it's introduction; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

During discussions on redeployment arrangements for post-primary teachers, which were introduced as part of the implementation of particular aspects of the Croke Park Agreement, the parties identified that there are situations where teachers might wish to transfer on a voluntary basis to another area of the country. It was acknowledged that such voluntary movement, if provided for, could assist the operation of the main redeployment arrangements. Accordingly it is agreed that further discussions would take place with a view to putting a pilot scheme in place.
