497. Deputy Shane Moynihan asked the Minister for Education and Youth the number of teachers allocated to each post-primary school including the school roll-number, in 2025 and 2026, in tabular form.    [64379/26]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 494 and 497 together.

Teacher allocations to all schools are approved annually by my department in accordance with established rules based on recognised pupil enrolment. The criteria for the allocation of posts are communicated to school managements annually and are available on the department website.

My department allocates teaching posts to individual ETB Schemes in accordance with the published criteria. The distribution of this staffing allocation between its schools and the recruitment and appointment of teachers to fill teaching posts is a matter for the Chief Executive of each ETB, subject to procedures agreed under Section 24(3) of the Education Act 1998 (as amended by the Education (Amendment) Act 2012).

The information requested by the Deputy for the 2025/2026 school year in Voluntary Secondary, Community and Comprehensive schools is provided in the attached tabular form.

The allocation process for the 2026/2027 school year is currently underway and will not be finalised until late Autumn.
