Birr school staffing and appointments
Applications will be invited soon, with existing staff offered assimilation before remaining vacancies are advertised. Selection arrangements depend on trust-deed negotiations; the Minister would make alternatives if needed.
asked the Minister for Education when applications will be invited for the post of Principal, Vice-Principal and teachers in the Birr Community School, County Offaly, and the selection procedure to be adopted for each of the above positions.
Comment on this
Applications for the posts referred to will be invited soon. It is normal practice, of course, that the staffs of the three existing schools in Birr be offered assimilation into the staff of the new school. Accordingly, only those posts remaining vacant after this will be advertised.
The selection procedures depend on the outcome of the negotiations regarding the terms of the deed of trust for Community Schools. Should these negotiations not be completed in time it will be necessary to make appropriate alternative arrangements for the selection of teachers.
