The information sought by the Deputy is set out in the following table. The figures for Primary teachers is based on the numbers of primary teachers on my Department’s payroll as at 9 February, 2017.  The figures for Voluntary Secondary, Community and Comprehensive Teachers are based on the number of teachers on the Department’s payroll which will be paid on 23 February, 2017. It should also be noted that these figures will vary slightly with each payroll run. My Department does not hold statistics on the number of teachers employed in the ETB sector.
