416.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 406 and 416 together.
The core function of the redeployment arrangements is to facilitate the redeployment of all surplus permanent and CID holding teachers to other schools that have vacancies. The redeployment of all surplus permanent teachers is key to my Department's ability to manage within its payroll budget and ceiling on teacher numbers.
The criteria used for the allocation of teachers to post-primary schools for the 2016/17 school year, including the redeployment arrangements for the 2016/17 school year is available on my Department's website.
