`The information available from my Departments' database indicates that there were 231 female principals employed in voluntary secondary and Community/ Comprehensive schools in the 2018/19 school year. There were 2,165 female principals employed in primary schools. The information in relation to the number of female principal teachers employed in ETBs would have to be obtained from each ETB.

The other information requested by the Deputy is not available in my Department.
