17th July 2013 | News


The DES has this evening (28 June) released the update below regarding the
panels. The next update is expected in late August 2013.

Update on Teacher Allocations and Redeployment Panels at primary level for 2013/14 school year – Position @ 28 June 2013

391 of the 405 surplus permanent and CID holding teachers placed on the redeployment panels have been redeployed.

The
relevant schools for the redeployment of the remaining surplus
permanent teachers have been notified separately by the Department
and/or Panel Officers.

The next panel update will be in late August 2013.

Progression to next stage of recruitment
Progression
to the next stage of the recruitment process is dependent on the
surplus  permanent teachers from all the main panels (including those
without access to a panel) in the relevant geographical areas being
redeployed.

The supplementary panel is now in operation for all panel operators in
all areas with the exception of schools of all patronage that are within
45kms of Ballyshannon and Letterkenny, all schools located within the
geographical areas of the Elphin Diocese and those individual schools
that have been separately notified by the Department and/or Panel
Officers in relation to the redeployment of remaining surplus
permanent/CID holding teachers.

 
Please also note that (with the exception of the schools in the
geographical areas outlined above and the schools that have been
separately notified by the Department and/or Panel Officers in relation
to the redeployment of remaining surplus permanent/CID holding teachers)
all other schools that have complied with the redeployment arrangements
and have notified all their vacancies to their relevant panel operators
may now also proceed to fill their fixed term posts in the normal
manner.

 
Please also note that (with the exception of the schools in the
geographical areas outlined above and the schools that have been
separately notified by the Department and/or Panel Officers in relation
to the redeployment of remaining surplus permanent/CID holding teachers)
all other schools that do not have access to a panel may also proceed
to fill their permanent and fixed term posts in the normal manner provided they have already notified their vacancies to the Department in
accordance with the arrangements in Circular 0013/2013.

The schools that have been separately notified by
the Department and/or Panel Officers are reminded that they are not
permitted to commence a recruitment process to fill a permanent or fixed
term teaching vacancy in any manner other than through the main
redeployment panels
until the Department is satisfied that vacant
positions are not required for the redeployment of any remaining
permanent /CID holding teachers on a main panel. The timing of when such
teaching vacancies in those schools can be filled in any other manner
will depend on how quickly permanent/CID holding teachers are redeployed
into vacancies. 

The Department will continue to liaise with
panel operators in relation to progress on the redeployment of the
remaining surplus permanent/CID holding teachers and those teachers that
are on the supplementary panels. Schools should keep in contact with
the panel operators for an update on these arrangements and progression
to the next stage of recruitment.

It is also important to note
that as and when schools that are allowed by the Department to proceed
to fill permanent and fixed-term posts other than by the redeployment of
surplus permanent/CID holding teachers those schools (irrespective of
location and patronage) that were given provisional approval for filling
or retaining a teaching post(s) on the basis of projected enrolments in
September 2013 are required to keep open one vacancy in accordance with
the arrangements set out in the letter of approval and the additional
FAQs document that issued to those schools for such posts.
