E-scéal 273 - Update on Redeployment Panel
- Published: 27 May 2011
Principals are once again finding themselves in a difficult and stressful situation in the third term as they try to deal with recruitment.Attached is the latest update from the DES in relation to Redeployment Panels. There is still much uncertainty over what will happen when a diocesan panel clears. The DES yesterday told a number of teachers, who will qualify for the Supplementary Panel, that these will not be published until all main redeployment panels are cleared. This new update seems to say that schools who fully co-operate with the redeployment process may be given priority to commence further recruitment?
Further updates will follow on June 3rd with decisions on June 10th in relation to other methods of appointment.

Power-Cut
IPPN Support Office will be effectively closed tomorrow Wednesday 11th May following notification by the ESB that due to upgrading of the service, power in the Glounthaune area will be cut-off. No, this is not an exercise in empathy with all the schools around the country that get similar short notice of power-cuts. Unfortunately Rule 60 does not apply to us and yes, we will be making up the day!If you have an urgent need for Principal Advice, a limited telephone service will be available between 9.00am and 4.30pm or by email to info@ippn.ie
