Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 11 May 2022
170. Deputy Ged Nash asked the Minister for Education if she has no function in the assignment, designation and relocation of staff within individual education and training boards; if it is entirely a function of the CEO of individual boards; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [23567/22]
View answerI understand that the Deputy is referring to administrative staff in ETB head office. In that regard, my Department provides each ETB with an overall staffing allocation to support ETB schools, colleges, head office and other centres of education. It is the responsibility of the Chief Executive of each ETB to recruit and manage staffing levels within this allocation, which would include assigning staff to the different functional areas after taking into accounts the needs of the organisation.
