I propose to take Questions Nos. 458 and 473 to 475, inclusive, together.

The criteria used for the allocation of teachers to schools is published annually on my Department's website. The key factor for determining the level of staffing resources provided at individual school level for the current school year is the pupil enrolment at 30 September 2013. There are currently 9,700 wtes (whole time equivalent) posts allocated to the ETB sector.

The information requested by the Deputy in relation to teachers employed in the ETB sector and the status of their posts is not available in my Department as it is held at individual ETB level. It is a matter for the individual ETB scheme, as employer, to determine whether a teacher is entitled to hold a contract of indefinite duration.
