asked the Minister for Education if he intends to appoint a remedial teacher to Glengurt national school, County Limerick.

The applications for remedial teachers for national schools are being processed at present by my Department.

An application for a remedial post on a shared basis between Glengurt, Templeglantine and Mount Collins national schools has been received by my Department.

Remedial teaching posts are allocated in accordance with a priority of need and this application will be considered in the light of the availability of remedial posts for 1986-87.

The chairman of the boards of management will be advised when a decision has been taken in the matter.
