asked the Minister for Education if he has received a submission for the establishment of certain posts at the Limerick VEC School of Engineering Library at Moylish Park, Limerick; if he is aware of the grave need to have such posts established as soon as possible in deference to the qualifications of the existing staff and the demonstrated workload involved; the progress, if any, which has been made on this submission; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department has not received any submission recently from the City of Limerick VEC regarding library staff at the School of Engineering, Moylish. Any proposals for additional library staff would of course have to be dealt with in the light of the current regulations on staffing in the public service.
