95. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the arrangements for provision of extra hours allocated to schools for junior cycle implementation for the school year 2018-19, in view of the fact that not all schools had permanent leadership posts restored; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

In recognition of the fact that the introduction of the Framework for Junior Cycle 2015 has implications for school leaders, extra hours were allocated to schools with effect from 2016 on an interim basis pending the restoration of leadership posts in schools to help with the facilitation of this additional work.

The position in relation to the school year 2018/19 will be considered in the context of Circular 3/2018.
