180. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if any of the permanent teaching posts announced in budget 2017, in particular special needs assistance or resource teaching, will be advertised in open competition for teachers with or without panel rights, to afford employment opportunities to those with specialised qualifications in this field during the recruitment process; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The core function of the redeployment arrangements is to facilitate the redeployment of all surplus permanent teachers to other schools that have vacancies. The successful operation of the redeployment arrangements is key to the Department's ability to manage within its budget.
After the redeployment process has transacted, each school is permitted to fill any remaining vacancies through open recruitment. This is managed and organised at individual school level.
