[9830/11] Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills (Deputy Sean Sherlock): No additional posts were allocated for Traveller pupils under DEIS in each of the past three years because Traveller pupils in all schools, including those in the DEIS programme, were supported under the Resource Teacher for Travellers scheme, which, the Deputy will be aware was discontinued by the previous Government.

The following are questions tabled by Members for written response and the

Questions Nos. 1 to 17, inclusive, answered orally.

Educational Disadvantage

18. Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of additional

staff that have been allocated for Traveller pupils under DEIS for the 2011/2012 school year;

and the number of teachers that have been allocated for this purpose for each of the past three

years. [9830/11]

Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills (Deputy Sean Sherlock): No

additional posts were allocated for Traveller pupils under DEIS in each of the past three years

because Traveller pupils in all schools, including those in the DEIS programme, were supported

under the Resource Teacher for Travellers scheme, which, the Deputy will be aware was discontinued

by the previous Government.

However, up to this year, Traveller pupils were not included in the valid enrolment for the

purposes of implementing the more favourable Pupil Teacher Ratios in DEIS schools. As I

indicated in my response to his question of 24 March, Traveller pupils have been included in

the valid enrolment for the purpose of allocating additional staffing under DEIS from the

2011/12 school year. I can now advise the Deputy that 81 posts have been provided for this

purpose.

School Management

19. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will

outline the powers of a school patron to authorise the dismissal of a teacher; and if he will

make a statement on the matter. [9842/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): Responsibility for running schools

on a day-to-day basis is devolved from the patron to the board of management and this was

statutorily underpinned by Section 14 of the Education Act 1998.

Section 24 of the Education Act 1998 provides that the appointment, suspension and dismissal

of teachers are the responsibility of boards of management. In the case of VEC schools,

475

section 20 of the Vocational Education (Amendment) Act 2001 provides that the appointment

of teachers and other staff are a matter for each VEC. Removal from office of a VEC officeholder

is provided for by section 8 of the Vocational Education (Amendment) Act 2001 and

requires a decision of the Minister.

Under Circulars 59/2009 (VEC schools) and 60/2009 (all other schools) procedures were

agreed relating to both professional competence issues and procedures relating to work, conduct

and matters other than professional competence. This agreement was made under the

terms of Towards 2016 and the procedures were issued in September 2009.

The procedures serve a dual purpose in that they provide a framework which enables schools

to maintain satisfactory standards, and for teachers and principals to have access to procedures

whereby alleged failures to comply with these standards may be fairly and sensitively addressed.

Matters of professional competence are dealt with through a process which allows for informal

counselling and the use of internal and external supports such as the Employee Assistance

Service and relevant educational support services. Only when the informal procedures are

unsuccessful in addressing professional competence issues are the formal stages invoked which

may at the end of the process have recourse to disciplinary action (up to and including

dismissal).

Matters of conduct follow a similarly staged procedure. However, in the cases of serious

misconduct at work or a threat to health and safety to children or other personnel in the school

the stages outlined above do not normally apply and a teacher may be dismissed without

recourse to the previous stages. A teacher may also be placed on administrative leave on full

pay pending an investigation and the conclusion of any appeal process.

As is the norm with any profession it is a matter for the individual teacher, in the first

instance, to maintain appropriate standards of work and conduct, and to personally address

such issues if and when they arise. Furthermore it is a teacher’s responsibility and obligation

to ensure that he or she avails fully of all opportunities of assistance towards remediation of

such issues.

Training and Work Experience Programmes

20. Deputy Gerry Adams asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to provide

30,000 additional training places across the education and training system; and the location of

same. [9837/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): The Programme for Government

contains a commitment that the Government will provide 30,000 additional training places

across the education and training system.

The Programme for Government also outlines that, within the first 100 days of taking office,

the Government will provide a Jobs Initiative which will contain some 15,000 of those places

in training, work experience and educational opportunities for those who are out of work.

Details of these additional activation places will be contained in the forthcoming Jobs Initiative,

which is due to be published later this month.

Once the Jobs Initiative has been launched my Department will work to deliver the

additional education and training places on top of my Department’s existing wide range of

training and education supports for the unemployed.

School Accommodation

21. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to phase

out the inefficient renting of school prefabs; the number and cost of prefab rental contracts to

which the State is currently tied; and the dates on which they cease. [9848/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): My Department is currently

developing new procedures and systems for the provision of temporary accommodation with a

view to achieving best value for money. These include the development of standard specifications

for temporary accommodation, the development of new contractual terms to incorporate

buy-out and relocation options to cater for individual local circumstances and appropriately

protect the interests of my Department and school authorities.

A change in policy implemented by my Department is to provide devolved grant aid for the

purchase (rather than rental) of additional accommodation where the need for such accommodation

is likely to exist for more than 3 years. Furthermore, since July 2008, it is also policy

to offer schools being approved for devolved grant aid for additional accommodation the option

to use their capital grant aid to build a permanent classroom(s) rather than purchase a prefab.

These policies will reduce the usage of prefabricated accommodation and, particularly, the

incidence of long term rental of prefabs.

In September 2009, 2,037 prefab units were been rented by Primary and Post-Primary schools

and this number has been reduced to 1,707. It should be noted that a prefab unit may consist

of one or more classrooms and/or ancillary accommodation and that expenditure incurred on

the maintenance or upkeep of rented prefab units is generally included in the rental contract

between the prefab provider and the school authorities. €29.2m has been allocated in 2011 to

cover the rental cost of accommodation at primary and post-primary levels including an allocation

of €25m to cover the rental cost of prefabs.

Prefab rental contracts generally range from six months to three years with an option to

renew at the end of each contract period. The following list provides the detailed information

on the contract periods for the prefab rentals currently on hands.

Rented Prefab Units as at 3rd May 2011

School Patronage

22. Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he has consulted

or commissioned any research concerning the educational outcomes of different forms of

patronage for primary schools. [9880/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): There has not been any specific

research commissioned (or consultations sought) by my Department which compare the educational

outcomes of the different forms of patronage for primary schools.

Schools Building Projects

23. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to prioritise

school building projects; the number of school building projects that will be started during each

of the next five years; and the locations of same. [9847/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): The 2011 school building work

programme, which was announced in January, is outlined on my Department’s website at

www.education.ie. In addition, the current status of all projects on the school building prog-

510

Questions— 4 May 2011. Written Answers

ramme is published on my Department’s web-site and this programme will be regularly updated

throughout the year.

My Department’s most recent projections indicate that enrolments at post-primary level will

rise from current levels of circa 312,200 pupils to about 336,600 pupils by the year 2017 and at

primary level enrolments are expected to increase from the current total enrolment of circa

505,600 pupils to an expected enrolment circa 567,300 pupils by the year 2017.

It is within this context that the Forward Planning Section of my Department is finalising its

analysis of all areas in the country in order to determine the level of additional school provision

which will be required at both primary and post primary level up to 2017. This analysis will

inform the development of a multi-annual plan for capital investment in schools.

Higher Education Sector

24. Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to

explore the establishment of a multi-campus technical university in the south east. [9856/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): The National Strategy for Higher

Education to 2030, otherwise known as the Hunt report, lays out a clear possible development

pathway for amalgamated institutes of technology which meet specified performance criteria

to seek re-designation as technological universities. A small number of new technological universities,

with their own legislative framework and a distinct mission that is faithful to the ethos

of the technological sector, working with existing universities, institutes of technology and other

education providers, can enrich the diversity and quality of the Irish higher education

landscape.

The establishment of any technological university will require the enactment of legislation.

More immediately, it will also be necessary to publish the detailed performance criteria for a

re-designation process and initial work is under way in developing these. I am committed to

publishing these criteria at an early stage. I will consider the scope and timeframe for legislative

proposals as part of my wider consideration of implementation priorities.

Adult Literacy

25. Deputy Tom Barry asked the Minister for Education and Skills if adult literacy programmes

are restricted by staff embargos and funding restrictions from answering the mushrooming

demand for their services. [9754/11]

Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills (Deputy Ciarán Cannon):

1Teachers or teacher equivalents that are directly providing tuition to pupils in schools, in

special programmes or in adult or further education settings are exempt from the moratorium

on public sector recruitment. This includes adult literacy tutors.

Funding for adult literacy services has increased significantly over recent years to €30 million

in 2011. The number of adult literacy participants was 54,000 in 2010.

I am aware that there is significant demand across the range of part-time and full-time further

education and training programmes, including adult literacy. As part of its Labour Market

Policy, the Government will make literacy and basic workplace skills a national priority, with

literacy training incorporated into a wider variety of further education and training programmes.

The Government will also address the widespread and persistent problem of adult

literacy through the integration of literacy in vocational training and through community education

under its lifelong learning policy.

Schools Building Projects

26. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will devolve an

annual capital budget to schools this year to allow schools to plan for capital projects. [9849/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): The Government’s Programme for

National Recovery 2011-2016 includes a commitment that administrative functions relating to

maintenance and school building projects currently carried out by school principals will be

devolved locally and that the devolution of an annual capital budget to schools will be piloted

to allow schools to plan for capital projects. In order to expedite the process of delivering

projects and to maximise the output from within existing resources, my Department has been

exploring alternative methods of delivering major projects. As well as the public private partnership

method of delivery, my Department has also initiated a process whereby a local authority

and a number of VECs have been given responsibility for managing the delivery of major

projects. This process has the potential to offer the Department of Education and Skills another

mechanism within which school buildings could be delivered in the future. In addition to the

major capital projects funded by my Department, there are grant schemes in which responsibility

for project managing and overseeing the delivery of these projects within budget is

devolved to the school authority. Schemes such as the Summer Works Scheme, the Permanent

Accommodation Scheme and the Emergency Works Scheme operate on this basis. The further

implementation of the commitments in the Programme for National Recovery 2011-2016 will

be informed by progress in the new devolution arrangements under way.

Psychological Service

27. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to

reverse the cut to the number of psychologists in the National Education Psychological Service

in budget 2011. [9853/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): The implementation of the various

commitments in the programme for Government will be addressed by the Government over

its period in office. I will consult my Government colleagues on this matter and other commitments

in the programme for Government with a view to the timing of the implementation

thereof at which stage I will make my Department’s intentions in this regard public.

Higher Education Grants

28. Deputy Brian Stanley asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to develop

initiatives to increase access to further higher level education for the unemployed; and if he

will make a statement on the matter. [9833/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): All full-time higher education

programmes covered by the free fees scheme are open to unemployed people. Unemployed

people on full-time third level programmes may also be eligible for support under the Department’s

student grant schemes. The provision of grants is subject to a means test and other

eligibility criteria. Further information on how to apply for a student grant is available on the

student finance website, www.studentfinance.ie. A competitive call for proposals for €5 million

was issued by the HEA at the end of January under Springboard, a new multi-annual higher

education labour market fund to enable unemployed people to access innovative part-time

higher education opportunities from certificate to postgraduate levels (Levels 6 to 9 on NQF).

The closing date for applications from providers for funding was 18 March 2011. It is expected

that full details of the part-time programmes to be provided under Springboard will be available

512

Questions— 4 May 2011. Written Answers

by the end of this month. Springboard has been designed to help unemployed people who hold

awards at NFQ Level 5 or 6 or equivalent with a previous history of employment in construction,

manufacturing or other sectors of the economy in which employment levels are unlikely

to recover to pre-recession levels. The fund also targets those with a previous history of employment

with higher levels of qualifications who may also require additional upskilling or reskilling

to enable them to re-enter employment.

Third Level Remuneration

29. Deputy Martin Ferris asked the Minister for Education and Skills the steps he has taken

to ensure that unauthorised allowances are not paid to senior staff of third level institutions in

the future. [9839/11]

39. Deputy Martin Ferris asked the Minister for Education and Skills the third level institutions

in the State who paid senior staff unauthorised allowances and from whom the Higher

Education Authority is seeking refunds; and the amount of unauthorised allowances paid to

each person in each institution. [9838/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): I propose to take Questions Nos.

29 and 39 together.

In the light of the payment of unauthorised allowances in the university sector, referred to

in Special Report No. 75 of the Comptroller and Auditor General and subsequently considered

at hearings of the Committee of Public Accounts, the Higher Education Authority is conducting

an exercise to determine definitively the amount of unauthorised allowances paid to individual

senior staff in each of the universities since 2005. The Comptroller and Auditor General will

assist the authority by testing the completeness and correctness of the information supplied by

each university and the accuracy of any calculations of excess payment amounts produced. I

will inform the Committee of Public Accounts of the outcome of this exercise as soon as it

becomes available. My Department has sought and received unequivocal commitments from

each university where unapproved allowances were paid that in future it will adhere to the

provisions of the Universities Act. In the context of annual reporting arrangements provided

for in the code of governance of Irish universities, each university is required to submit an

annual statement to the Higher Education Authority affirming that Government policy on pay

is being complied with.

30. Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to cap the pay

of senior managers in third level institutions at €100,000. [9841/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): Government pay policy is not

determined on a sectoral basis in isolation. In general, pay policy is determined by the Government

on the advice of the Ministers for Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform and

having regard to the provisions of the Croke Park agreement as appropriate.

Colleges Recognition

31. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Education and Skills the procurement

procedures followed in the granting of ministerial approval to a college (details supplied)

to operate in the field of primary teacher education; the reason this college has no cap on

teacher training places; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9892/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): In 2003, the then Minister for

Education and Science was the designated authority for recognition of qualifications for the

513

[Deputy Ruairí Quinn.]

Questions— 4 May 2011. Written Answers

purposes of employment for the regulated profession of primary teacher. Applications for

recognition of qualifications were received by the Department from time to time, either from

individual graduates or from institutions. The Qualifications (Education and Training Act) 1999

provided for the establishment of the National Qualifications Authority of Ireland and the

Further and Higher Education and Training Awards Council for the accreditation of nonuniversity

education and training awards at further and higher levels.

In 2003, Hibernia College made an application to HETAC for validation of its Graduate

Diploma in Primary Education in the format prescribed, setting out the programme objectives

and outcomes, structure and outline content, assessment arrangements for learners, and facilities

and staff expertise available. A panel of assessors examined the documentation and visited

the college. The Programme Accreditation Committee of HETAC considered their report and

accredited the programme. A certificate of course approval was issued in July 2003. As the

Minister for Education and Science was the designated authority for recognition of qualifications

for purposes of employment for the regulated profession of primary teacher, Hibernia

College contacted the Department to ascertain whether this qualification would be recognised

for the purpose of employment as a primary teacher. The Department considered the course

proposal and the decision of the then Minister was that he would recognise the qualification

of Graduate Diploma in Primary Education of Hibernia College for the purpose of employment

as a primary teacher provided all of the conditions set by HETAC were met, including those

relating to quality assurance. The Department did not procure the delivery of the course

referred to by the Deputy but was approached by the college with its proposal. The college

has not received any funding from the Department to run the course.

Hibernia College is a privately owned institution providing a privately run course. Neither

my Department nor any other State body has a role in regulating the number of students

enrolled by this privately run college. Section 38 of the Teaching Council Act has since come

into force and the Teaching Council is now empowered to review and professionally accredit

programmes of initial teacher education. It is open to any other providers to make an application

for recognition if they so wish and any such application will be considered by the Teaching

Council.

Bullying in Schools

32. Deputy Jonathan O’Brien asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to ensure

that all schools develop anti-bullying policies and strategies to combat homophobic bullying in

their schools. [9854/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): I take the issue of bullying in

schools very seriously. I am committed to ensuring schools tackle bullying in all its forms,

including homophobic bullying. Under the Education (Welfare) Act 2000, all schools are

required to have in place a code of behaviour and this code must be drawn up in accordance

with the guidelines of the National Educational Welfare Board. The board’s guidelines, which

were issued to schools in 2008, make it clear that each school must have policies to prevent or

address bullying and harassment and that schools must make clear in their code of behaviour

that bullying is unacceptable. The guidelines further state that as well as making explicit that

bullying is prohibited in the school and having an anti-bullying policy, the code of behaviour

should indicate what action the school will take on foot of alleged breaches of the school’s

bullying policy. Every school must have in place a policy which includes specific measures to

deal with bullying behaviour, within the framework of the school’s overall school code of

behaviour. Such a code, developed through consultation with the whole school community and

514

Questions— 4 May 2011. Written Answers

properly implemented, can be the most influential measure in countering bullying behaviour

in schools. Responsibility for tackling bullying falls to the level of the individual school, as it is

at local level that an effective anti-bullying climate must be established and at that level that

actions should be taken to address allegations of bullying.

My Department has also issued Guidelines on Countering Bullying Behaviour as an aid to

schools in devising measures to prevent and deal with instances of bullying behaviour. These

guidelines were drawn up following consultation with representatives of school management,

teachers and parents, and are sufficiently flexible to allow each school authority to adapt them

to suit the particular needs of a school. As a further aid to post-primary schools, my Department

has published a template that can be used by post-primary schools in developing antibullying

policies. The anti-bullying policy template is based primarily on the key document

Guidelines on Countering Bullying Behaviour. However, it also takes account of more recent

legislative and regulatory changes. It refers to issues of contemporary concern, such as the need

to tackle text bullying, cyber-bullying and homophobic bullying. The education of students in

primary and post-primary schools in relation to anti-bullying behaviour is part of the Social,

Personal and Health Education curriculum. Social, Personal and Health Education is now a

compulsory subject at primary level and in the junior cycle of post-primary schools.

Special Educational Needs

33. Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Questions

No. 207 of 24 March 2010, Nos. 640 and 641 of 2 February 2010 and No. 1123 of 19 January

2010, the current status of the Special Education Appeals Board; and if he will make a statement

on the matter. [9756/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): The Programme for Government

states that education will be a priority for this Government and that we will endeavour to

protect and enhance the educational experience of children, young people and students. To

that end, we are committing during the tenure of this Government to the publication of a plan

for the implementation of the Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Act 2004

(EPSEN) to prioritise access for children with special needs to an individual education plan.

The Deputy will be aware that a number of sections of the EPSEN Act have already been

commenced, principally those establishing the National Council for Special Education and

those promoting an inclusive approach to the education of children with special educational

needs.

The EPSEN Act also provides for the establishment of the Special Education Appeals Board

to hear and determine appeals under the Act. The appellant sections of the Act have not yet

commenced. Three members were appointed to the board for a three-year term in April 2007

in advance of the then expected full implementation of the EPSEN Act. Board members

developed the processes and procedures which would be required to allow for a smooth appellant

system once the relevant sections of the Act, which would allow appeals to be undertaken,

are commenced. Once the sections in question are commenced, the board will have specific

statutory functions and responsibilities under the EPSEN Act. In the interim there are no

grounds for any appeals to be made to the Special Education Appeals Board. Accordingly,

once the initial period of office of the members of the board elapsed, the previous Minister for

Education and Skills decided not to make new appointments for a further term.

the 1998 Education Act requires boards of management of each school to publish the policy

of the school relating to participation by students with special educational needs, including

students who are exceptionally able. The measures schools take in this regard are required to

be stated in the school plan. It is the duty of the board of management to ensure that appropriate

education services are made available to such students. Primary and secondary schools

level use strategies such as curriculum differentiation, curriculum enrichment and acceleration

to facilitate the development of pupils who are exceptionally able. Syllabi and curricula for

second level schools have been designed in such a way to enable teachers cater for the wide

range of pupil ability.

The revised primary curriculum, which has been supplied to every primary teacher, recognises

the importance of developing the full potential of the child and caters for pupil diversity,

including meeting the needs of exceptionally able pupils. Content is outlined in the curricula

at both levels and process is also heavily emphasised. Enabling children to learn how to learn

is stressed and facilitated. The development of language skills, investigatory and problem- solving

skills, higher-order thinking skills and working individually, and as a member of a group,

are all encouraged at both levels. While the use of information and communication technologies

and the use of class and school libraries are of benefit in project work with all pupils, they have

a special importance for pupils who are exceptionally able.

The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA), in collaboration with its

counterpart in Northern Ireland, the Council for Curriculum Examination and Assessment

(CCEA), has produced draft guidelines for teachers of exceptionally able students. These

guidelines issued to all Primary and Post Primary schools in November 2007 along with a

questionnaire for feedback. The NCCA/CCEA guidelines are designed to raise awareness of

the social, emotional and academic needs of exceptionally able students and to assist teachers

in planning their teaching and learning. The guidelines provide advice to schools on identification

of gifted children, set out profiles of students, and whole school and classroom strategies

and case studies which demonstrate how schools can best meet the needs of such students. The

general strategies include differentiated teaching, acceleration and enrichment approaches in

the context of participation in mainstream schools.

The Special Education Support Service is a service under the management of my Department

which provides support for teachers to assist them in meeting the needs of all pupils with

special educational needs, including those pupils who are exceptionally able. The service is

available to schools who may be seeking advice or support relating to a specific special education

issue in the school. More information on the range of programmes offered by the Special

Education Support Service is available on www.sess.ie. In addition, the professional development

service for teachers provides training in differentiation, in terms of differentiating for all

pupils, whether less or more able. Issues around exceptional ability and giftedness are

addressed as part of the school planning process which is facilitated by the professional development

service. Finally, the programme for Government sets out this Government’s commitment

to examining supports in place for gifted students and specifically to the creation of improved

links with third level institutions on a regional basis, to provide gifted students with access to

new programmes or educational resources.

FÁS Training Programmes

35. Deputy Michael Colreavy asked the Minister for Education and Skills if his attention has

been drawn to the South Dublin County Council scheme that allows persons to complete

apprenticeships; and his plans to replicate this in other local authorities throughout the

State. [9835/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): Issues relating to local authorities

are a matter in the first instance for my colleague, the Minister for Environment, Community

and Local Government. The Redundant Apprentice Placement Scheme 2011 is funded by my

Department and administered by FÁS. It is a national scheme introduced earlier this year

which aims to facilitate up to 1,000 eligible redundant apprentices to complete the on-the-job

training phases 3, 5 and 7 of their apprenticeships with FÁS approved employers in either the

private sector or, for the first time, the public sector. FÁS has met the County and City Managers

Association to draw its attention to and provide information on the Redundant Apprentice

Scheme 2011.

In the public sector, the placement of redundant apprentices is co-ordinated between FÁS

regional offices and the relevant local authority with support from the Office for Local Authority

Management. As at 22 April 2011, 103 redundant apprentices had been placed with local

authorities under this scheme. Other initiatives taken by FÁS to assist redundant apprentices

to progress in their apprenticeships include Changes in Progression Rules, whereby redundant

apprentices unable to complete their relevant on-the-job training phases are now permitted to

progress to the next Off-the-Job training phase. Under the Phase 7 Equivalent Assessments

Scheme, redundant construction trade apprentices unable to complete on-the-job Phase 7

assessments at an employer undertaken Phase 7 Equivalent Assessments at a FÁS training

centre. The Recognition of Prior Learning Scheme allows redundant apprentices who have

successfully completed all apprenticeship training Phases 1 to 7 but who have not completed

the statutory four years in employment as an apprentice, to validate their competence by submitting

a portfolio of evidence of trade related work experience gained at home and/or abroad

and/or trade related training and education. Under the Fee Waiver Scheme, FÁS day and/or

evening courses fees are waived for redundant apprentices.

National Literacy Strategy

36. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Education and Skills the date on which he

will publish a national literacy strategy for children and young persons. [9846/11]

46. Deputy Michael Moynihan asked the Minister for Education and Skills when he expects

to conclude the public consultation process on the development of a National Literacy and

Numeracy Strategy; and when he expects to publish and implement this strategy. [9882/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): I propose to take Questions Nos.

36 and 46 together.

My Department received over 460 submissions as part of the public consultation process on

literacy and numeracy in schools. These submissions are being examined and oral consultations

with stakeholder groups are ongoing. I expect that the National Literacy and Numeracy

Strategy will be drafted by the end of June 2011. The strategy will contain a series of specific

short-term and longer-term actions to improve the teaching and learning of literacy and numeracy

in our schools. The implementation of these actions will be overseen by a National Literacy

and Numeracy Implementation Group supported by a National Literacy and Numeracy Forum.

The implementation group will benefit from the participation of national and international

experts on literacy and numeracy acquisition and assessment while the wider National Literacy

Forum will facilitate ongoing inputs from the education partners.

Further Education

37. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Education and Skills the mechanisms

which will be in place to ensure the co-ordination of further education services following

the completion of the reorganisation of Government Departments. [9884/11]

Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills (Deputy Ciarán Cannon): Since

2010, my Department has had overall responsibility for the funding and training functions of

FÁS as well as the funding and further education activities of Vocational Education Committees

(VECs). I am currently reviewing options regarding the provision of further education and

training and the structures to support it.

Schools Building Projects

38. Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he has received

representations in relation to a new primary school at a location (details supplied) in County

Cork; the progress made in relation to same; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

[9757/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): My Department has received representations

in relation to the provision of a new primary school building in the Co Cork area

to which the Deputy refers.

A major capital application has been made to the Department for the provision of a new

school building for the proposed school. In accordance with the published criteria for large

scale building projects, the project for this school has been assigned a Band 1.4 rating. The

progression of all large scale building projects will be considered in the context of my Department’s

School Building and Modernisation Programme. Information in respect of the current

school building programme along with all assessed applications for major capital works, including

this project, is available on my Department’s website at www.education.ie.

As the Deputy is aware, the Forward Planning Section of my Department is continuing its

analysis of all areas in the country in order to determine the level of additional school provision

which will be required at both primary and post primary level up to 2017. Overall primary

requirements in the area referred to by the Deputy will also be fully considered in this context.

However, in light of current competing demands on the Department’s capital budget, it is not

possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of a project for the school in

question at this time.

School Patronage

41. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he envisages the

vocational education committees having a greater role in the provision of primary education;

and if he supports the community national school model. [9878/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): The role of Vocational Education

Committees in the provision of primary education and the future of the community national

school model are matters for consideration in the context of the wider patronage agenda at

primary level.

As the Deputy will be aware, I recently officially launched the Forum on Patronage and

Pluralism in the Primary Sector and its work is now underway. This process is a key objective

of the Programme for Government for the education sector and a personal priority which I am

pleased to have been to convene it so quickly.

The terms of reference of the Forum are to advise me on:

• how it can best be ensured that the education system can provide a sufficiently diverse

number and range of primary schools catering for all religions and none;

• the practicalities of how transfer/divesting of patronage should operate for individual

primary schools in communities where it is appropriate and necessary;

• how such transfer/divesting can be advanced to ensure that demands for diversity of

patronage (including from an Irish language perspective) can be identified and met on

a widespread basis nationally.

The Advisory Group which I have appointed to conduct the Forum will receive and assess the

various views and perspectives of participants and to then provide me with policy advice having

regard to the Terms of Reference.

The outcome of this process will inform future thinking and policy making on a range of

issues, including the matters raised by the Deputy. In the meantime, I have deferred the introduction

of legislation to enable VEC patronage at primary level. The Community National

Schools, of which I am Patron, will continue to be managed by my Department.

School Evaluations

42. Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Education and Skills if his plans

to give parents access to more information regarding schools as a result of the proposed school

evaluation system amounts to the introduction of a form of league table for primary

schools. [9845/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): I would like to clarify for the

Deputy that my plans to give parents access to more information regarding schools relates to

how each individual school communicates with the parents of children attending or about to

attend that school about that school’s operation and performance. It is not about the construction

of national league tables for primary schools.

There is no room for complacency about educational standards and self evaluation by schools

is important in identifying what is being done well and where there is a need for improvement.

As a system of self evaluation develops I am anxious that in all cases work done by a school

in that respect is shared with parents locally so that parents can be enabled to have a clear

insight into the teaching and learning experience in the school.

521

[Deputy Ruairí Quinn.]

Questions— 4 May 2011. Written Answers

In fact the parental role as part of a school’s ongoing quality assurance and improvement is

recognised in the 1998 Education Act, through the requirement for boards of management to

establish procedures for informing the parents of students in the school of matters relating to

the operation and performance of the school. My plans essentially involve ensuring that all

schools deliver in a consistent and structured manner on that statutory intent.

Teacher Training

43. Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he still has concerns

around the fact that the five primary schools colleges are controlled by religious orders; and if

he has any plans to address this issue following the setting up of a forum on patronage and

pluralism. [9879/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): It is the aim of my Department to

ensure that there is an adequate supply of suitably qualified primary teachers to meet demand.

Four of the five providers funded by my Department do not use religious affiliation as an entry

requirement. St. Patrick’s College, Mary Immaculate College, Froebel College and Coláiste

Mhuire Marino were established as Catholic Colleges of Education. However, they each now

have links with universities and accept students of all faiths and none. Entry to the Bachelor

of Education is based on points achieved in the Leaving Certificate examination. The situation

with the Church of Ireland College of Education is somewhat different as its remit is to provide

an adequate supply of primary teachers capable of upholding and maintaining the distinctive

ethos and spirit of Protestant national schools. Entry is based on points achieved in the Leaving

Certificate Examination and appropriate numbers of places on the Bachelor of Education

Degree programme are reserved for students who are members of recognised Churches in the

Protestant tradition. Remaining places can be made available to other candidates.

The content of the Bachelor of Education programme is, currently, a matter for the individual

Colleges of Education. In accordance with Section 38 of the Teaching Council Act 2001,

the Teaching Council is empowered to review and professionally accredit programmes of initial

teacher education. The Teaching Council has initiated reviews of a range of initial teacher

education programmes and will consider course content in this context.

The Bachelor of Education courses provided by the Colleges of Education include compulsory

modules on religious education. The content of these courses varies between the different

institutions and, in general, has a strong focus on methodology. They aim to ensure that student

teachers understand the spiritual and religious development of the primary school child in a

general sense and that they are aware of the content and methodologies of the programmes

developed by the Catholic Church, the Board of Education of the General Synod of the Church

of Ireland and Educate Together. They also aim to ensure that the student teachers are enabled

to plan an RE programme which can be applied in schools of varying traditions and ethos. As

with all elements of the programme this area evolves and is reviewed by the Colleges in accordance

with the changing educational landscape.

The recently established Forum on Patronage and Pluralism in the Primary Sector offers a

platform for consideration of the very many issues that arise in the context of divesting of

patronage by the Catholic Church and transfer of patronage generally.

The Forum will take a multi-dimensional approach involving consultations with the key education

stakeholders, including parents and other interested parties in order to ensure the widest

possible consultation on this important issue. I would hope that the work of the Forum will

522

Questions— 4 May 2011. Written Answers

deliver clear agreed specific modalities for the transfer of patronage which will allow for progress

to be made on actual transfers during 2012.

I am confident that the Colleges of Education and the Teaching Council will respond to the

outcomes of the Forum in reviewing course content and the requirements for same,

respectively.

Early Childhood Education

44. Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Education and Skills the level of

funds that will be invested in a targeted early childhood education programme for disadvantaged

children. [9844/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): My Department is already

investing in a targeted early childhood education programme for children at risk of educational

disadvantage. The Early Start programme aims to provide an educational programme for children

aged 3-4 which would enhance their overall development and offset the effects of social

disadvantage. The specific objectives of the programme are:

To enhance the children’s language, cognitive and social/emotional development by engaging

them in structured play activities which are characterised by high quality adult/child

interaction.

To assess the strengths and needs of each child in relation to language, cognition and

social/emotional development and to plan and deliver a programme of learning to meet the

identified needs in these key areas of learning.

To devise strategies which actively engage parents in the education of their children.

In 2010, just over €6 million was expended on this programme. In recent years, the State along

with Atlantic Philanthropies have funded Prevention and Early Intervention Programmes in

areas of disadvantage. These include YoungBallymun, Tallaght’s Childhood Development

Initiative and the Preparing for Life Programme in Darndale. The evidence accruing from

these intervention programmes as to what works most effectively for young children at risk of

educational disadvantage will inform further targeted interventions.

Education Schemes

45. Deputy Sandra McLellan asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to help

teen parents complete their second level education. [9851/11]

Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills (Deputy Ciarán Cannon): While

current figures on the number of teen parents in second level are not readily available, the

most recent statistics available indicate 2,223 teen births in 2009. Of these, 1201 were to mothers

aged 18 years or younger.

For young parents of school-going age, the most pressing issues are considered to be a

sensitive response to their needs, appropriate counselling/ mentoring and medical assistance,

minimal disruption of tuition, and appropriate access to childcare. Individual circumstances will

differ and accordingly, school management practice will vary from case to case. Generally,

when it comes to the attention of the school that a pupil is pregnant, the school authorities

check to ensure that the pupil is receiving appropriate medical assistance and counselling

advice. Schools endeavour to be sensitive and understanding to the pupil’s needs while trying

to ensure that her education is not neglected.

523

[Deputy Ciarán Cannon.]

Questions— 4 May 2011. Written Answers

Home tuition is provided to pregnant schoolgirls who are absent from school during the

latter stages of pregnancy or immediately following the birth of a baby when attendance may

be impractical. In 2009/10, home tuition was approved for 63 pregnant girls attending post

primary schools.

Funding was been provided by my Department in 2010/11 for the educational element of 8

Teenage Parenting Support projects as a specific gender element of the School Completion

Programme under DEIS in preventing early school leaving among teenage mothers and fathers.

These are as follows:

1. Carlow Teen Parenting Programme

2. Cork Teen Parenting Programme

3. Donegal Teen Parenting Programme

4. Barnardos Teen Parenting Programme

5. Coolock Teen Parenting Programme

6. Galway Teen Parenting Programme

7. Limerick Teen Parenting Programme

8. Louth Teen Parenting Programme

Funding was also provided to Waterford Student Mothers Project in 2010/11.

In 2009, 485 young parents were referred to the Teen Parenting Support Programme (TPSP).

This included 441 young mothers. It also includes 35 young fathers who are supported independently

from the mother of the child.

Each Teenage Parenting Support project has made links with a School Completion Programme

in their area, assisted by the SCP National Coordination Team and the Teenage

Parenting Support Initiative Coordinators. The young parents supported by the Teenage

Parenting Projects are given the opportunity to reach their full potential through continued

participation in education and training. This will improve their life opportunities and reduce

the likelihood of the young family experiencing poverty and social exclusion and being longterm

dependants on state support. Furthermore, my Department is represented on the National

Advisory Committee-Teen Parents Support Initiative which meets twice a year.

An analysis by the Teen Parents Support Programme of 1349 young mothers who engaged

with TPSP between mid 2005 and 2008 shows that, at the time of referral, 46% (623) were in

education/training. Of these, 65% were in second level schools. A further 339 were early school

leavers. Data on the relationship between pregnancy and early school leaving was collected on

217 of the above 339 early school leavers. It showed that 50% of the young women were still

in school at the beginning of their pregnancy. Of these, 98 left during the pregnancy and 10

left after the birth of their children. This demonstrates the importance of supporting pregnant

and/ or parenting teens to remain within the school system.

Between 2005 and 2008, 61% of all mothers who had not completed their Leaving Certificate

received education-related supports from TPSP staff. This refers to mothers both in and out of

education and includes 294 young mothers who received financial support through the School

Completion Programme.

524

Questions— 4 May 2011. Written Answers

Data collected on 262 of the 339 early school leavers shows that during 30 months of engagement

with TPSP, 21% (56) returned to education or training and 19 of these 56 young mothers

received financial support from the School Completion Programme. Under the Community

Childcare Subvention Scheme administered by the Department of Children and Youth Affairs,

there is a tiered system of payments in place for parents in receipt of Social Welfare. The

scheme allows eligible parents, including teenagers completing their second level education, to

access reduced childcare costs at community childcare services participating in the scheme.

Parents who are secondary school students are granted Band A status which means that the

childcare provider will get a maximum subsidy of €100 per child (€130 for a baby) for a full

time place.

Higher Education Strategy

47. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Education and Skills when he

expects to begin the review of the recommendations in the Hunt report. [9883/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): As I have indicated to the House

previously, the process to develop the proposals for a new higher education strategy under the

chairmanship of Colin Hunt was a lengthy one and provided for a comprehensive examination

of the challenges facing the sector with a wide range of inputs from different stakeholders as

well as national and international expertise. While I would not necessarily be bound by the

specifics of every recommendation in the report, and in particular the specific issue of future

financing will be the subject of further consideration as set out in the Programme for Government,

I believe that, taken in the round, the strategy represents the broad basis on which higher

education policy should be developed over the coming decades. The overall implementation

effort will require strong partnership and involvement across the system in delivering on the

various detailed actions required. Having considered overall implementation priorities, it is my

intention to make a comprehensive statement over the coming weeks in relation to my agenda

for delivery on priority strategy actions and the overall development of our higher education

system.

Educational Disadvantage

48. Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Education and Skills the date on which he

will publish the Educational Research Centre evaluation and report of the DEIS scheme; the

date on which he will publish the evaluation by his Department’s inspectorate of the implementation

of DEIS; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9831/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): In 2006, my Department commissioned

the Educational Research Centre (ERC) to commence a comprehensive evaluation

of DEIS, the action plan for educational inclusion. The aim of the evaluation is to monitor the

implementation of the programme and assess its impact on students, families, schools, and

communities at primary and post-primary levels. The evaluation has involved the testing of

pupils together with attitudinal studies focusing on pupils, teachers and a wide group of other

stakeholders. An advisory group was established to support the evaluation.

The forthcoming report, which is expected shortly, is the second in a series of reports and

deals with the evaluation of DEIS at primary level with a particular focus on change in English

reading and mathematics between 2007 and 2010. A previous report on DEIS focusing on

rural disadvantage is available for download from the Educational Research Centre website

525

[Deputy Ruairí Quinn.]

Questions— 4 May 2011. Written Answers

(www.erc.ie). I envisage that the forthcoming report will also be made available following consideration

within my Department and by the Advisory Group.

In parallel with the ERC’s research on pupil attainment in DEIS schools, the Inspectorate

of my Department conducted evaluations of planning in a sample of 36 DEIS schools. Evaluations

were completed in 18 primary schools in spring 2010 and in 18 post-primary schools in

the period September to December 2010. Reports on the effectiveness of planning and target

setting in each of the schools have been provided to the board of management of each school.

A national composite report on the effectiveness of DEIS planning in the primary schools has

been completed and is expected to be published by June 2011. A composite report on the

effectiveness of DEIS planning in the sample of post-primary schools is under preparation and

is expected to be available by August 2011.

Special Educational Needs

49. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Education and Skills in view of the

fact that the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which was ratified by Ireland in 1992,

clearly states that Ireland’s children are entitled to a minimum standard of education, the

reason there are parents involved in the CITCAAT campaign seeking these same rights.

[9125/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): The Deputy will be aware of my

Department’s commitment to ensuring that all children, including those with autism, can have

access to an education appropriate to their needs in school settings. This facilitates access to

individualised education programmes, fully qualified professional teachers, special needs assistants

and the appropriate school curriculum with the option, in line with each child’s ability, of

full/partial integration and interaction with other pupils.

My Department’s policy is to provide for children with special educational needs, including

autism, to be included in mainstream schools unless such a placement would not be in their

best interests or the interests of the children with whom they are to be educated. Some children

may be supported in a special class attached to a mainstream school. These students have the

option, where appropriate, of full/partial integration and interaction with other pupils. Other

children may have such complex needs that they are best placed in a special school. Students

with special educational needs have access to a range of support services including additional

teaching and/or care supports. In special schools and special classes, students are supported

through lower pupil teacher ratios. Special needs assistants may also be recruited specifically

where pupils with disabilities and significant care needs are enrolled.

The Deputy will be aware that the establishment of a network of autism-specific special

classes in schools across the country to cater for children with autism has been a key educational

priority in recent years. In excess of 430 classes have now been approved around the country

at primary and post primary level, including many in special schools. My Department has put

in place a training programme for teachers in autism-specific interventions including Treatment

and Education of Autistic Communication Handicapped Children (TEACCH), Picture

Exchange Communications System (PECS) and Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) through

the Special Education Support Service.

The Deputy will be aware that the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) is responsible,

through its network of local Special Educational Needs Organisers (SENOs), for allocating

special needs resources to schools to support children with special educational needs. The

NCSE operates within my Department’s criteria in allocating such support. The NCSE will

continue to support schools, parents, children and teachers and special needs assistants will

526

Questions— 4 May 2011. Written Answers

continue to be deployed to schools to meet children’s needs in line with my Department’s

policy. SENOs with their local knowledge and expertise are a valuable resource to parents in

sourcing an educational placement. The Deputy will also be aware that my Department provides

grant aid under the Home Tuition Scheme to provide early education intervention for

pre-school children with a confirmed diagnosis of autism or to parents of children with autism

who are awaiting an educational placement.

The Deputy may wish to contact my colleague, the Minister for Health and Children or the

HSE directly in relation to the reference to children awaiting assessments, diagnosis and Early

Intervention services in the details provided with his question. Similarly the Deputy may also

wish to contact the Minister for Social Protection regarding the reference to issues surrounding

the Domiciliary Care Allowance and the Carer’s Allowance.

Departmental Funding

50. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Taoiseach the level of State grants and-or other

supports given to the Institute of International and European Affairs during the two decades

up to 2011; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10222/11]

The Taoiseach: My Department does not provide grants or other such supports to the

Institute of International and European Affairs (known as the Institute of European Affairs

up to July 2008). It has, however, been a corporate member of the Institute since 1993 and

pays an annual membership fee in this regard.

51. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs the

level of State grants and-or other supports given to the Institute of International and European

Affairs during the two decades up to 2011; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

[10219/11]

Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs (Deputy Eamon Gilmore): Between 2000 and 27

January 2011, my Department has given €259,048.68 to the Institute of International and European

Affairs and its predecessor, the Institute for European Affairs. This funding included fees

for annual corporate membership for the Department, payments for the production and printing

of publications on European matters, and payments for organising lecture series and participation

in international meetings.

It has not been possible in the time available to determine the exact figures for funding given

in the period 1991 to 1999. However, should the Deputy wish for further information on this

my officials will endeavour to obtain it for him.

Tax Code

52. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Finance if he will review the imposition

of a carbon tax on Dublin Bus which, along with the abolition of the fuel rebate, cost the

company €14.1 million last year, in view of the critical role that Dublin Bus and other public

transport services play in reducing carbon emissions by encouraging the modal switch from

private cars; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9596/11]

Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan): It must be recognised that emissions from

the transport sector remain significant. The carbon tax is about sending price signals to the

sector as a whole. The carbon tax does not differentiate between private and public transport

per se, however, the impact on public transport will be far less than on private transport by

virtue of the fact that the carbon tax is dispersed amongst more people, for example, using a

bus compared to an individual in a car.

Consequently, the carbon tax will be proportionately less for users of public transport which

should be an incentive for its use. In addition, the carbon tax provides an incentive for both

private motorists and providers of public transport to invest in fuel efficient cars and buses

when they are making future purchasing decisions. In relation to the fuel rebate scheme, a

derogation under EU Directive 2003/96 on Energy Taxation allowed the application of a

reduced rate of Mineral Oil Tax to fuel used for the purposes of certain road passenger services.

Arising from an EU Commission decision, that derogation has expired and the arrangement

was, therefore, terminated by the Finance Act 2008. It would not be possible, having regard to

the relevant provisions of EU law, to re-introduce a scheme of that nature for those services.

Revenue Commissioners Staff

53. Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Finance the number of full-time customs

and excise officials working in the Border, midlands and west region for the years 2006, 2007,

2008, 2009 and 2010; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9906/11]

54. Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Finance the number of part-time customs

officials working in the Border, midlands and west region for the years 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009

and 2010; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9907/11]

55. Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Finance the number of staff engaged

full-time in the detection of drugs in the Border, midlands and west region of the Revenue

Commissioners; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9908/11]

Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan): I propose to take Questions Nos. 53 to 55,

inclusive, together.

I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that Revenue is an integrated Tax and Customs

administration, and all Revenue staff are available for assignment to any required functions in

accordance with currently identified priorities and risks. Currently (30 April) the Revenue

Commissioners have 881 staff serving in the Border, Midlands, West region. The corresponding

figures for staff employed at the same point in each of the previous years requested are as

follows (all full-time equivalents): 2006, 885; 2007, 945; 2008, 972; 2009, 962; 2010, 888.

These staff play an important part in ensuring compliance with all taxes and duties including

customs obligations and excise duties and are supplemented by staff from other Revenue

Regions and Revenue’s Investigation and Prosecution Division as required for specific planned

operations, particularly in relation to excises and smuggling. Revenue is aware that it plays a

frontline role in protecting society from the importation of illicit drugs. As a stakeholder in the

Government’s National Drugs Strategy, Revenue plays an important role in implementing the

Supply Reduction Pillar.

Strategic and Operation Plans, which are managed on a national basis, have been put in

place to ensure Revenue meets its commitments under the strategy. This ongoing commitment

is bolstered by the deployment of the two Revenue Customs Cutters, the RCC Suirbhéir and

the RCC Faire, two X-Ray scanners and 13 detector dog teams, coupled with the management

of the Customs Drugs Watch programme.

Revenue works proactively with an Garda Síochána and the Naval Service as part of the Joint

Task Force on Drugs Interdiction. Along with effective operational interventions, Revenue has

also used its contacts within international law enforcement agencies to proactively profile drug

trafficking networks.

Customs Searches

56. Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Finance the number of private aircraft

searched for drugs at Ireland West Airport Knock in the years 2008, 2009 and 2010; and if he

will make a statement on the matter. [9909/11]

Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan): I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners

that all private aircraft arrivals at Ireland West Airport Knock are monitored on an ongoing

basis, and based on risk analysis, profiling, review of intelligence etc., a decision is made on

whether or not to search a private aircraft. While private aircraft are boarded from time to

time at Ireland West Airport Knock, to check for drugs and other contraband, it is not the

policy of the Revenue Commissioners to publish precise details of such enforcement activities,

as this could prejudice current or future operations. The Commissioners further advise me that

passengers and crew from private aircraft who enter the State are subject to the same checks

529

[Deputy Michael Noonan.]

Questions— 4 May 2011. Written Answers

as other arrivals, including individual profiling, and are liable to be checked by Revenue staff

and screened by the drug detector dog.

In line with best practice in customs administration worldwide, Revenue regards the development

of information and intelligence as critical to the detection of evasion and smuggling,

including drug smuggling. This is very important in the case of Ireland and other EU Member

States where the operating environment for Customs has been shaped to a significant degree

by the introduction of the Internal Market and the related principles of freedom of movement

within the EU. Of specific relevance are the abolition of routine and systematic Customs checks

on goods and passengers moving within any part of the EU. The approach has of necessity

been to balance the freedom of movement principle in regard to people and goods with the

need to control smuggling.

Motor Vehicle Registration

57. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Finance the reason the cost of registering

a classic or vintage car increased from €50 to €200 last month; and whether there is any

discretion for cars which are used solely for charity fund-raising events. [9916/11]

Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan): The Deputy may be aware that the rate of

€50 for Category C vehicles had not been increased since its introduction in 1993 (when it was

set at £40 and converted to €50 in 2002). Given that the rate hardly covered the administration

costs of registering a vehicle, in particular when the pre-registration examination cost from 1

September 2010 is deducted from the VRT rate, it was decided in the 2011 Budget to increase

the rate to €200. There is no discretion for cars that are used solely for charity fund-raising

events.

Financial Services Regulation

58. Deputy Eric Byrne asked the Minister for Finance in relation to special purposes vehicles

set up to take advantage of the provisions of section 110 of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997,

as amended, if he will provide the number of such SPVs known to the Revenue Commissioners;

the number of forms S.110 received by the Revenue Commissioners in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010

and as of 31 March 2011; the numbers of such vehicles audited by Revenue in 2007, 2008, 2009,

2010 and as of 31 March 2011; the estimates of the tax yield arising under each tax head for

2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010; the total value of the underlying assets held in these vehicles which

have been securitised; the total number of Revenue staff engaged in the monitoring of securitisation;

their grades, the proportion of their time allocated to the work; the Revenue divisions

in which they are located and the number of meetings held between Revenue staff and staff in

the Financial Regulator’s office regarding policing compliance levels with Irish law by these

companies. [9954/11]

Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan): I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners

that the information requested by the Deputy, insofar as it is available, is as follows:

Total No. of SPVs

Section 110 companies have been obliged to submit Form S110 notifications since 6

February 2003. The number of notifications received from that date is 1694. It is likely that

a number of these companies have ceased business in the interim.

A Financial Services Unit in Revenue’s Large Cases Division is responsible for

monitoring/auditing section 110 companies. While it is not possible to identify a specific

resource or time allocation, section 110 companies are overseen by an Assistant Principal

and a Higher Executive Officer in that Unit.

Meetings held between Revenue and the Financial Regulator

There have been no meetings between the Revenue Commissioners and the Financial

Regulator specifically on the issue of policing compliance levels with Irish law by section 110

companies. The Revenue Commissioners and the Financial Regulator police compliance levels

with separate facets of Irish law but there is provision for exchange of information in

certain defined circumstances under the Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of

Ireland Act 2003. Compliance with tax law is a matter for the Revenue Commissioners only.

Insurance Industry

59. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Finance if he will report on the

proposed introduction of a new industry-wide levy on all non-life insurance policy holders of

between 1% and 2%; his views on this proposed new levy in view of the severe financial

pressure that many households already are under and the high insurance costs; if he also will

indicate if the old ICI levy is still being charged on insurance; and if he will make a statement

on the matter. [9968/11]

Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan): The purpose of the Insurance Compensation

Fund (ICF) is to protect policy holders in the event of their insurer becoming insolvent. As the

Deputy is aware, the Joint Administrators of QIL (in administration) last week announced the

sale of certain QIL assets and liabilities to Liberty Mutual Direct Insurance Company Ltd,

representing the best option for policy holders of QIL. The Joint Administrators also identified

solvency breaches in QIL for which they have to seek assistance from the ICF. They indicated

531

[Deputy Michael Noonan.]

Questions— 4 May 2011. Written Answers

that the reason for this is the fact that QIL recorded a total loss of €706 million for the year

ending December 2009, due mainly to operating losses in the UK market and a write-down in

the value of assets, particularly in relation to the company’s investment in Quinn Property

Holdings.

In addition, they estimate that losses in 2010 will amount to €160 million, mainly reflecting

UK business written immediately prior to their appointment. These losses have been incurred

due to the policies and strategies pursued by the previous management. These losses are

expected to lead to a call on the Insurance Compensation Fund (ICF) in the region of approximately

€600m, however the approval of the High Court will first have to be obtained.

At present the ICF has reserves of €30m. Additional money can be raised by the Central

Bank through the placing of a levy of up to 2% of an insurance company’s aggregate income

under Section 6 of the 1964 Insurance Act. In addition, under Section 5 of the same Act, I, as

Minister for Finance, can if recommended by the Central Bank, advance moneys to the Fund

to enable payments to be made expeditiously. These advances must be repaid to the Exchequer

by the ICF. To date no request for funding has been made to me.

The Insurance Corporation of Ireland, a subsidiary of Allied Irish Bank, collapsed in 1985.

It should be noted that no levy was placed on the industry after the ICI collapse as compensation

to meet the company’s liabilities was provided by a combination of AIB funding, commercial

loans and State loans which have since been repaid.

However, a levy of 2% of gross premium income was introduced on 1 January 1984 following

the collapse of PMPA in October of the preceding year. The levy was paid by all non-life

insurers at this rate until 31 December 1991 and a reduced levy of 1% applied for the period

1 January 1992 to 31 December 1992, when it was discontinued as sufficient moneys had been

collected to successfully complete the administration of the former PMPA.

Banking Sector Regulation

60. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Finance if he will confirm that the

Irish bank stress tests carried out by BlackRock Inc., Boston Consulting Group and Barclays

plc cost up to €30 million; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9969/11]

Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan): The Central Bank of Ireland is not

Exchequer funded. This matter is the responsibility of the Central Bank Commission and the

Minister for Finance had no role in the matter. However, the Central Bank has informed me

that the final consultancy cost is expected to be in the region of €30m, including VAT.

It is important to note that the costs relate to the three firms and third party sub-contractors.

These costs also cover additional work that is being carried out during the second quarter of

2011 in relation to the assessment of INBS loan losses and review of Anglo loan loss methodologies.

Details of all firms, including third party sub-contractors are available in the Central Bank’s

Financial Measures Programme Report, which is available at: http://www.financialregulator.ie/

industry-sectors/credit-institutions/Documents/The%20Financial%20Measures%

20Programme%20Report.pdf

The Central Bank has also informed me that in light of the requirement under the EU-IMF

programme to use consultants under a very tight deadline for urgent financial stability purposes,

it was not possible to apply normal tender processes. However expert firms were selected from

a larger list. The Central Bank invited those firms to tender and those able to provide submissions

at short notice were reviewed. A selection panel (including a Central Bank appointed

532

Questions— 4 May 2011. Written Answers

risk adviser) was used to assess presentations from firms. Firms were also asked to provide fee

estimation and were then selected.

Firms were chosen on the basis of their expertise and knowledge, with each having a specific

role in specified areas. BlackRock is a leading global provider of investment and risk advisory

services to public and private clients and was commissioned to leverage their extensive expertise

to provide a bottom-up loan loss forecast for the Irish banks in both a base case and a stress

scenario over the next three years and lifetime. Barclays Capital provided expert advice on

banking sector reorganisation and deleveraging issues. The Boston Consulting Group provided

project management resources across the Financial Measures Programme, an assessment of the

loan loss forecasting exercise and it also contributed to expert advice for the PCAR and PLAR.

Proposed Legislation

61. Deputy Peter Mathews asked the Minister for Finance the protection in place for whistleblowers

who expose wrongdoing in financial institutions; his plans to introduce legislation to

further protect them; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9975/11]

Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan): Legislative provision for the protection of

whistleblowers in the financial services sector will be considered in the context of the commitment

in the Programme for Government for the introduction of whistleblowers’ legislation.

Local Authority Funding

62. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Finance his views of rateable valuations;

if he will reform the system and update the legislation to ease the cost burden of local authority

rates on the small and medium enterprise sector; and if he will make a statement on the

matter. [9995/11]

Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan): The Valuation Act 2001 which came into

effect on 2 May, 2002, provides that all buildings used or developed for any purpose including

constructions affixed thereto are rateable unless expressly exempted under Schedule 4 of the

Act. Such exempt buildings would principally include those used for public worship, education

and health care provided on a not-for-profit basis, and charitable purposes. The basis of valuation

for all commercial property, inclusive of premises occupied by small and medium size

enterprises, is net annual value, i.e. the rental value of the property and, in the interests of

equity, all such valuation revisions are determined by reference to the values of comparable

properties on the same valuation list.

The legislation also provides for the revaluation of all commercial and industrial property in

the State and the Commissioner of Valuation who has sole responsibility for all valuation

matters under the Act is implementing the revaluation programme on a nationwide basis. The

purpose of revaluation is to bring more equity, fairness and transparency into the local authority

rating system and following completion of the initial revaluation programme, I am satisfied

that there will be a much closer and uniform relationship between rental values of property

and their commercial rates liability and that this relationship will thereafter be maintained by

means of recurring revaluations provided for in the Act.

Under the Valuation Act 2001 the commercial rates income of the local authority will be

capped in the year following a revaluation. Any increase will be limited to the rate of inflation.

The purpose of revaluation is to redistribute the commercial rates liability more equitably

between ratepayers rather than to increase the total amount of commercial rates collected by

a local authority.

533

[Deputy Michael Noonan.]

Questions— 4 May 2011. Written Answers

The revaluation programme began in November 2005 in the South Dublin County Council

area and has since been rolled out to the areas covered by Fingal and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown

County Councils. The revaluation of South Dublin was completed in December 2007, Fingal

was completed in 2009 and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown was completed in 2010. In the next

phase, the revaluation of the Dublin City Council area will commence with the signing of the

valuation order on 5th May, 2011. This will entail the valuation of circa 25,000 properties and

the new list will be published in December 2013. It is intended to roll out the programme to

further local authority areas later in 2011 and the necessary process of consultation, as provided

for under the Act, is underway with the local authorities of Waterford, i.e. Waterford City and

County Council and Dungarvan Town Council. Preliminary work is also underway on the

revaluation of Limerick City.

The Commissioner is actively reviewing options which might hold potential for accelerating

the delivery of the revaluation programme within a shorter timeframe. While I have no immediate

plans to amend the Valuation Act 2001, my officials are reviewing various provisions of the

Act to achieve greater efficiencies, including streamlining the appeals process. I should point

out that while the lists of rateable valuations produced and maintained by the Valuation Office

are the basis on which rates are levied, the amount of rates to be collected is a matter for each

local authority to decide.

State Property

63. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Finance if he will confirm the area

known as the Moat, Fiddown, County Kilkenny is owned by the State; his plans to develop the

area as a local amenity; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9999/11]

Minister of State at the Department of Finance (Deputy Brian Hayes): The property in

question is neither owned by nor in the care of the Commissioners of Public Works.

Tax Code

64. Deputy Seán Kenny asked the Minister for Finance when the 2011 budget changes for

deducting the universal social charge from medical cardholders will be implemented and when

refunds due will issue. [10028/11]

Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan): The universal social charge (USC) was introduced

with effect from 1 January 2011. There is an exempt annual threshold of €4,004 (€77 per

week). However, where this threshold is exceeded, the entire amount is chargeable. The standard

rates of charge are:

— 2% on the first €10,036,

— 4% on the next €5,980, and

— 7% on the balance.

As the Deputy is aware, the Finance Act 2011 introduced a concession which applies from 1

January 2011 for individuals in possession of a medical card or a Health Amendment Act card.

Accordingly, the maximum rate of charge of USC for individuals in receipt of

employment/pension income and in possession of a full medical card or a Health Amendment

Act card is 4% irrespective of the level of their income.

534

Questions— 4 May 2011. Written Answers

Employers and payroll operators have been advised by Revenue that where an employee or

pensioner makes them aware that he or she is the holder of a full medical card or a Health

Amendment Act card the employer should immediately apply the lower rate of USC to salary

or pension payments already made in respect of the period since 1 January and to make a

repayment of any overpayment of USC at the earliest possible date.

Where an employee does not make the employer or payroll operator aware of the fact that

he or she has a medical or Health Amendment Act card during the year, Revenue will, on

receipt of an appropriate claim after the end of the tax year, process the repayment arising in

a timely manner.

A comprehensive publication of “Frequently Asked Questions” (FAQs) in relation to the

USC has been posted on the Revenue website and is updated at regular intervals. These FAQs

are intended to guide employers and payroll operators in addressing all issues related to the

operation of USC.

Tax Collection

65. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Finance the number of instances in

which the Revenue Commissioners have taken legal action against taxpayers in each of the

past five years to date in 2011, whether against individuals or small medium enterprises; and if

he will make a statement on the matter. [10045/11]

66. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Finance the number of court cases

taken by the Revenue Commissioners against persons deemed to have a liability in each of the

past five years to date in 2011; the amounts recovered outstanding or otherwise; the number

of prison sentences served arising therefrom; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

[10046/11]

Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan): I propose to take Questions Nos. 65 and

66 together.

I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that they initiate legal action in a broad range

of circumstances as part of their debt management, compliance, investigations and prosecution

programmes, and the results since 2006 are set out in the following tables. The numbers are

small, having regard to the size of the taxpayer base, but these programmes are an important

part of Revenue’s compliance strategy, and are essential in maintaining public confidence in

the tax system.

Revenue does not maintain records that would allow for compilation of data by reference to

actions taken against individuals or small and medium enterprises. However data is available

on the number of judgements and their value, obtained for each of the years requested, broken

down between individuals and companies and, by definition, all liquidation cases are companies.

It is understood that the Deputy is not seeking data in relation to legal proceedings for

excise offences or customs criminal investigations.

Revenue employs the services of six firms of external solicitors to effect recovery proceedings

on its behalf. The following table summarises the number of cases referred by Revenue to its

solicitors, the value of debt in those cases and the debt recovered for each of the years

requested. It should be noted that recovery may be effected by the firms concerned without

the need to initiate formal legal proceedings before the courts.

In the majority of successful prosecutions, the Courts impose fines. However, since 2006 16

terms of imprisonment have been imposed by the courts, 13 of which were suspended. In 5

cases, periods of imprisonment have been served, including one in default of fines and one who

went to prison on remand.

Banking Sector Regulation

67. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Finance the position regarding action

taken or proposed by the relevant authorities against banks or others deemed to have failed

to take action to protect the national interest; and if he will make a statement on the

matter. [10047/11]

Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan): The Deputy will appreciate that the concerns

raised by him — which are indeed shared by this Government and the citizens of the

country — are subject to various on-going investigations. Bodies such as the Director of Public

Prosecutions, Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement, Central Bank and Garda

Síochána are statutorily independent in the exercise of their executive functions. Consequently,

I feel it would be inappropriate of me to make further comment, at this stage, which might

prejudice the outcome of any such investigations.

State Banking Sector

68. Deputy Maureen O’Sullivan asked the Minister for Finance the role and salary grades of

the 200 additional staff taken on recently by Anglo Irish Bank. [10062/11]

Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan): As the Deputy may be aware, responsibility

for the normal ongoing business of the bank, which includes staffing levels and the pay and

conditions of the bank’s staff, is a matter for the Board of Anglo. Significant progress has been

made by the Board in reducing staffing levels in the bank. Anglo Irish Bank publishes information

on its staffing levels and costs in its annual report and accounts. The accounts for the

financial year ended 31 December 2010 indicated that average staff levels in that year were

1,332 compared to 1,681 for the fifteen month period to end 2009, a reduction of 349. Note 9

to those accounts also sets out the costs associate with these staff as well as other administrative

expenses of the bank over these periods.

The bank has also further informed my Department that the total headcount as at end

December 2010 was 1,296 and that this has been further reduced in 2011 due to the fact that

in February 2011, 210 staff transferred to AIB when the deposit books of the bank transferred

to AIB.

These are aggregate staffing levels in the bank and the turnover of staff has been even

greater. The bank has informed me that, since 2009, around 410 employees have joined the

bank but that the number leaving over the same period has been even greater, at in excess of

1,000. The bank also stated that where staff have been added, these were primarily to address

turnover and resource requirements in the areas of asset recovery, risk management and control

functions which are critical to the efficient work out of the bank’s assets and the achievement

of the maximum return for the shareholder.

As regards future staffing requirements, a joint restructuring and work out plan for both

Anglo Irish Bank and Irish Nationwide Building Society was submitted to the European Commission

on 31 January. Once a final decision is reached on this plan the number of staff and

the required skill sets for the merged entity, will have to be considered by the Board of the

new merged entity in conjunction with the NTMA.

FÁS Training Programmes

69. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the numbers

of FÁS training places lost in the cuts of budget 2011; the actions he may now be considering

to remedy this deficiency in coming weeks; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

[9948/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): FÁS will deliver at least 90,000

training places for the unemployed in 2011. When compared to the number of FÁS training

places delivered in 2010 this is a reduction of 24,000 places. This reduction occurred because

of the following reasons:

— FÁS budget for training the unemployed was reduced by €37 million in Budget 2011,

— FÁS will be providing more courses of longer duration in 2011 thereby reducing capacity,

— FÁS must invest more resources into ensuring the quality of its courses and,

— There have been significant reductions in FÁS staff due to the Employment Control

Framework.

The Programme for Government contains a commitment that the Government within the first

100 days of taking office will provide a Jobs Initiative. The Jobs Initiative will deliver a minimum

of an additional 15,000 places in training, work experience and educational opportunities

for those who are out of work as committed to in the Programme for Government. Details of

these additional activation places will be contained in the forthcoming Jobs Initiative, which is

due to be announced later this month.

Questions— 4 May 2011. Written Answers

Redundancy Payments

70. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding

entitlement to redundancy by special needs assistants who were employed by his Department

and have recently been made redundant; the position regarding a person (details supplied) in

County Cork who was made redundant in August 2010 and who has not yet received a redundancy

payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10063/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): Redundancy arrangements for

Special Needs Assistants and the selection criteria for redundancy are set out in circular

58/2006. A redundancy situation may arise in a school when the special needs allocation is

reduced by the NCSE. It is then the responsibility of the Management Authority of the school,

who is the employer of Special Needs Assistants in the school, to ensure that the special needs

allocation in the school is adjusted in line with the NCSE allocation.

I can confirm that an application for redundancy has been received by my Department from

the person referred to by the Deputy.

Applications for redundancy are being received on an ongoing basis and are processed in

date order of receipt. The application in question will be dealt with as soon as possible.

FÁS Training Programmes

71. Deputy Billy Timmins asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason the cost of

the safe pass refresher day course is more than €1,700; his views on this fee for one day; if he

will reduce same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10074/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): This is an operational matter for

FÁS and as such, I have no function in this matter.

School Staffing

72. Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Education and Skills the alleviation measures

being provided to assist schools who have had their resource teachers for Travellers withdrawn

under circular 0017/2011. [9930/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): In recognition that the withdrawal

of Resource Teacher for Traveller posts/teaching hours may have an initial impact on schools,

limited adjustment or alleviation measures are being provided to assist schools that have high

concentrations of Traveller pupils who were previously supported by Resource Teachers for

Travellers.

In respect of DEIS, (Developing Equality of Opportunity in Schools), Traveller enrolments

have been included in the valid enrolment for the purpose of allocating additional staffing

under DEIS from the 2011/12 school year. The schools involved have already received their

staffing allocations for next year.

For schools other than DEIS schools in receipt of enhanced pupil teacher ratios, alleviation

measures are being provided to assist schools with high concentrations of Traveller pupils who

were previously supported by RTT posts. Any proposed alleviation measures must be considered

in the context of the limited resources which are available to my Department. As such,

alleviation measures are being concentrated on schools which have 33 or more pupils supported

by RTT posts.

The decision to withdraw Resource Teacher for Travellers was taken by the previous

Government in the last Budget. The Deputy will understand that the economic situation means

539

[Deputy Ruairí Quinn.]

Questions— 4 May 2011. Written Answers

very difficult decisions have had to be taken. The requirement to make expenditure savings

and to ensure that staffing numbers remain within the Public Service Employment Control

Framework prevent me from re-visiting this decision.

Departmental Bodies

73. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Education and Skills in view of commitments

in the programme for Government to cut the number of State bodies substantially, the

State bodies or agencies in the education sector he believes could be abolished and the timeframe

envisaged for same. [9933/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): My Department is currently working

with the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel to prepare legislation which will give effect

to the previous Government’s decision to amalgamate the National Qualifications Authority

of Ireland (NQAI), the Higher Education and Training Awards Council (HETAC) and the

Further Education and Training Awards Council (FETAC). Drafting of the legislation is at an

advanced stage and it is hoped to publish the Bill in the near future, with the new amalgamated

body to be established before the end of the year.

The previous Government decided to reduce the number of VECs from 33 to 16, and on the

merger of particular VECs. I am anxious to ensure that progress continues to be made in the

work on bringing about a reduction in the number of VECs. I extended an invitation to the

Irish Vocational Education Association (IVEA) to submit alternative rationalisation proposals,

as they had expressed concerns regarding the configuration of the proposed new entities. The

IVEA has indicated to me that it will be responding shortly. I have made clear to the IVEA

that while I am open to considering proposals on alternative configurations, the invitation does

not mean that the process of rationalisation will be slowed or diminished in any way. In considering

the submission from IVEA regarding particular mergers, I will be seeking savings and

ensuring that the new structure will involve a substantial reduction in the number of individual

bodies but with each one of greater scale than is the case at present. I am confident that this

merger will ensure an even higher quality educational service for students and the public alike.

Regardless of the final shape of the re-configuration, there will still be a requirement for cooperation

and joint endeavour between all of the new local bodies. The current work on arriving

at a single grant awarding body for the student support schemes is a good example of

avoiding duplication and achieving improved public service delivery. The rationalised new

bodies will position the VEC sector to turn these challenges into opportunities.

The new National Strategy for Higher Education provides a clear policy direction for the

future development of roles and relationships between higher education institutions. It

reaffirms the importance of having a coherent network of institutions with a diversity of missions

and a strong emphasis on consolidation and collaboration on a regional basis within both

the university and Institutes of Technology sectors, to underpin quality, offer wider choice,

more flexible learning opportunities and a high quality research system. A clear development

pathway has also been laid out in the Strategy for amalgamated Institutes of Technology which

meet specified performance criteria to seek re-designation as technological universities. A small

number of new technological universities, with their own legislative framework and a distinct

mission that is faithful to the ethos of the technological sector, working with existing universities,

institutes of technology and other education providers, can enrich the diversity and quality

of the Irish higher education landscape. It is my intention to publish the detailed performance

criteria for a re-designation process at an early stage.

The scope for further rationalisation of State bodies or agencies in the education sector will

be examined in the context of the Comprehensive Spending Review announced recently by

Government. The Review is scheduled to be concluded by end September 2011 and the results

will be brought before Government for consideration and decision in the annual Budget and

Estimates process.

School Staffing

74. Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to

Parliamentary Question 108 of 29 March 2011, the reason he has not contacted the person or

the school as outlined in his reply; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9904/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): Officials from my Department

wrote directly to the principal of the school on 19th April 2011 in order to address the issues

raised in parliamentary question 108 of 29 March 2011.

A copy of the correspondence will be sent to the Deputy for information.

Schools Building Projects

75. Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Education and Skills when a decision will

issue in respect of an appeal for a school (details supplied) in County Mayo; and if he will

make a statement on the matter. [9917/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): I wish to advise the Deputy that

in light of the current competing demands on the capital budget and due to the scale of demand

for funding under the 2011 Summer Works scheme, unfortunately it was not possible to grant

aid all applications. Applications for works in the higher categories of eligible works were

prioritised and on this occasion, only applications for works in Categories, 1, 2 and 3 have been

approved i.e. Gas, Electrical and Mechanical works.

A letter of appeal has been received in the School Capital Appraisal section of my Department

on the 20th April, 2011. A full examination of the appeal will be carried out and the Board

of Management of the school will be notified of the outcome once a decision has been reached.

Teaching Qualifications

76. Deputy Shane Ross asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding the

status of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9957/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): As the Deputy may be aware, the

recognition of qualifications for teacher registration is now a matter for the Teaching Council,

the body with statutory responsibility for establishing and maintaining standards in the teaching

profession in the State.

Accordingly, I am sure you will appreciate that it would not be appropriate for me to intervene

in individual cases.

Departmental Circular CL 0040/2010 states “In the case of an appointee who has applied to

the Teaching Council, remuneration will be at the rate for unqualified persons pending the

decision of the Council.” It further states “When registration for the sector and recognition of

qualifications for the purpose of the post is achieved then incremental salary will be allowed

from the date of registration.”

It is my understanding that the person referred to by the Deputy is in dispute with the

Teaching Council regarding the receipt of her application for registration and has requested

541

[Deputy Ruairí Quinn.]

Questions— 4 May 2011. Written Answers

that her registration be backdated. The Teaching Council have investigated the matter and

decided that backdating her registration is not appropriate in this instance.

Special Educational Needs

77. Deputy Tom Hayes asked the Minister for Education and Skills when a person (details

supplied) in County Tipperary will be assessed for eligibility for a special needs assistant.

[9958/11]

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): I wish to advise the Deputy that

the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) is responsible, through its network of local

Special Educational Needs Organisers (SENOs) for allocating resource teachers and SNAs to

schools to support children with special educational needs. The NCSE operates within my

Department’s criteria in allocating such support. This now includes a requirement for the NCSE

to have regard to an overall cap on the number of SNA posts.

This number is 10,575 whole time equivalent (WTE) posts. This is a significant number of

posts and unlike other areas of the public sector vacancies are being filled up to this number.

It also represents continual increases in the number of SNAs over recent years. For example,

there were 10,543 WTE SNA posts in place at the end of 2010 and 10,342 at end 2009.

It is considered that with equitable and careful management and distribution of these

resources that there should be sufficient posts to provide access to SNA support for all children

who require such care support to attend school, in accordance with Departmental criteria.

The NCSE has issued a circular to all schools advising of the allocation process for the

2011/2012 school year. A key feature of the amended scheme will be to provide for an annual

allocation of Special Needs Assistant support to eligible schools.

The NCSE asked schools to submit all applications for SNA support to them by 18th March,

2011 and intend to inform schools of their annual SNA allocation as soon as possible, in

advance of the coming school year.

My Department and I will be glad to consider any suggestions from school management or

parent representative organisations as to how the allocation of SNA resources can best be

managed within the context of the overall limit on SNA numbers established. In this regard I

am committed to making whatever improvements are possible to the resource allocation

system.

needs assistant will be appointed to a school (details supplied) [9966/11]
