asked the Minister for Education if he will revise the regulations governing the establishment of boards of management of regional technical colleges to ensure teacher representation on such boards.

I would refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 427 of 25 April 1978.

In the course of the review I will be considering the matter of teacher representation on the boards of management of the college.

Does the Minister agree that there is effectively no obstacle to his ensuring adequate teacher representation on the boards of such colleges? Can he tell the House when he anticipates that this review will be finished and whether, if he is in favour in principle of the right representation of teachers, he will incorporate such a principle after his review?

There were a number of questions in the Deputy's supplementary to all of which I can say "yes".

Question No. 25 is being treated as a written reply.
