The Chief Executive of an Education and Training Board (ETB) has discretion in relation to the allocation of teaching posts and for the re-assignment of personnel for specific purposes, on a short-term basis, provided this does not exceed the overall allocation to the ETB. In the case of one ETB, the position of Director of Schools was established by the Chief Executive from within the allocation of teaching posts provided by the Department to the ETB. The Chief Executive has advised the Department that it is an interim arrangement and of the context in which it was made.
