The latest panel update has been issued by the Department of Education with 18 teachers awaiting redeployment. Additional updates by the DE include:

• In panel areas where the Main Panel has cleared, any remaining permanent posts may be filled from the Supplementary panel and all fixed term vacancies can be advertised as per the terms of circular 19/2021.
• In panel areas where the main panel has not cleared, schools may advertise their fixed-term vacancies only, subject to the following line being included in the advertisement: “The filling of this post is subject to the post not being required for the main panel redeployment process” The above line is to cover the potential that a fixed-term post may still be required for a teacher on the main panel or one who may be placed on the main panel at a later stage (Section 6.3.1 of the FAQ- redeployment guidelines). The potential for this to arise is low and if it does the Department / Panel Operator will contact the relevant school(s) directly. Teachers on the main panel are not required to apply for fixed term posts advertised. The supplementary panel for these areas will issue when the main panel is cleared.
