[12106/97]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 138, 151, 174, 177 and 181 together.

I am currently considering the possibility of making additional remedial and resource teacher posts available to primary schools for the forthcoming school year.

I can assure the Deputies that the needs of the schools to which they refer will be taken into account as part of this process.
