asked the Minister for Education the number of teachers on the panel in the Dublin area at present; in each case, the school in which that teacher is teaching at present; the number of pupils who are enrolled in that school; the number of teachers who are teaching there within the quota; and the number teaching in that school above the quota.

There is a total of 11 national school teachers on the panel for the Archdiocese of Dublin at present, seven from schools in County Dublin, three from schools in County Wicklow, and one from a school in County Kildare. Three of the 11 teachers are currently exempt from the panel on grounds of maternity, although their names are retained on the panel list.

Details of the ten schools involved are given in the attached table, which I propose to circulate with the Official Report.
