Teachers are employed by the Boards of Management of recognised schools. It is therefore a matter for the Boards to choose the format applications for teaching positions must take. Where a Primary school chooses to accept electronic (e-mail) applications the procedures to be followed are set out in Section 2.3 of Appendix D of the Constitution of Boards and Rules of Procedure 2011.
