34 Ms. O'Donnell asked the Minister for Education if she has proposals to initiate a welfare service for the 40,000 teachers at first and second level.
173 Miss Quill asked the Minister for Education the proposals, if any, she has to initiate a welfare service for the 40,000 teachers at first and second level.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 34 and 173 together.
The teacher representative bodies in their responses to the Green Paper submitted proposals for the establishment of a welfare service for teachers. My Department is currently examining these proposals.
