As part of the Lansdowne Road Agreement, post primary teachers could opt out or opt in to the Supervision and Substitution scheme subject to criteria set out in circulars 41/2017 and 47/2017. There were 973 opt out applications and 142 opt in applications approved under the terms of the circulars. This information relates only to post primary teachers paid on payrolls operated by my Department. The information in relation to teachers employed by Education and Training Boards is held by the individual ETBs.
