I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department publishes details of the number of teaching posts which are allocated to schools each year and also the number of teachers employed by schools each year.

Details of the number of teaching posts which are allocated to primary and secondary schools each year are published as part of my Departments annual key statistics information reports. These reports are available at gov.ie - Key Statistics (www.gov.ie)

Details of the number of teachers who are appointed to primary and post primary schools (excluding ETB schools ) each year are published at

The data which is collated provides details of the total number of teachers appointed and employed by sector nationally, but does not note the distribution of posts by region. Information regarding the regional distribution of posts is therefore not readily available.
