I propose to take Questions Nos. 205 and 206 together.

As already advised to the Deputy on 10th October the information requested is not available on a county basis. One hundred and forty retired teachers were employed in the primary sector to cover absences during the period 28th August to 10th October. Thirty one retired teachers were employed during the period 4th September to 1st October 2012 to cover absences in the secondary and community/comprehensive schools.
