133. Deputy John Deasy   asked the Minister for Education and Skills the present requirements for teachers in relation to redeployment panels at primary level; the criteria for inclusion in these panels; the level of temporary service and substitute teaching on a full-time basis that is acceptable for inclusion in the individual panels; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13370/11]
Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn): The redeployment panels that have been published consist solely of surplus permanent-CID teachers who are fully registered with the Teaching Council. The next stage of the redeployment panels will consist of fixed-term primary teachers who are fully registered with the Teaching Council and who have a minimum of five years service.
The supplementary panels consist of fixed-term teachers who are fully registered with the Teaching Council and who have between three and five years service. The supplementary panels will recognize as appropriate, substitute service. The supplementary panel becomes operational when the main panel is cleared. It is the intention of the Department to restore recruitment from fixed-term teachers on the main panels, supplementary panels or public advertisement at the earliest possible opportunity, after all the surplus permanent teachers have been redeployed.
