Budget 2017 provides for the commencement of the restoration of middle management posts to lift the rigidity of the longstanding moratorium on these posts in both the primary and post-primary sector. A Department circular will issue shortly in relation to these new arrangements.

The estimated cost of 100 Assistant Principal posts is €850,000 per annum.
