89 Mr. Kenneally asked the Minister for Education if she will approve the appointment of a remedial teacher to cover Garranbane National School, Coolnasmear National School, and Kilbrien National School in County Waterford; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13055/97]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 83, 89 and 99 together.

At present, a total of 37 remedial teachers are providing a remedial service to 104 primary schools in County Donegal. 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 the needs of the areas to which they refer will be considered as part of this process.
