I propose to take Questions Nos. 494, 519, 520 and 546 together.
I am not in a position at present to make additional remedial teacher posts available to the schools referred to by the Deputies or to any primary schools. The total number of ordinary national schools in County Clare is 122, 63 of these schools, with an enrolment of 8,941 pupils on 30 September 1995, have the services of a remedial teacher available to them. The number of ordinary national schools in County Clare which do not have the services of a remedial teacher is 62. The combined enrolment of the 62 schools on 30 September 1995 was 3,294.
