321 Mr. Crawford asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the serious problem that teachers who have trained outside the Republic of Ireland have in regard to the requirements of his Department to pass their exams to qualify for full Irish status; his views on the fact that the standard of the exam is far above what is necessary within the classroom and the fact that people who have attended Gaelscoils and hold honours degrees in the Irish language have in the past failed this exam; his further views on the fact that there is no clear syllabus set out for teachers to follow; if he will reconsider this situation and bring in a realistic structure so that teachers who are very necessary to our system and have good qualifications otherwise, are not debarred from school structures and a proper payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
