The diocesan panel is now clear Dear Fathers/Chairpersons/Principals, I am happy to announce that the Meath Supplementary Panel is now clear. Schools may now proceed to advertise any unfilled permanent vacancies for 2010/2011 in the usual manner. Please note that the Department can add a name to the Main or Supplementary Panel at any time (e.g when a maternity exemption ends). Therefore the panels can come back into operation at any time. For this reason it is always advisable even during the school year to clarify that the panels are clear with Primary Accocations before advertising a post. Thank you for your cooperation in the operation of the Panels Sincerely Rev Brendan Ludlow CC 10 August 2010 Due to data-protection procedures, the diocesan panel will no longer be available for download from this website. New procedure is as follows: As per circular 21/10schools with vacancies should notify Fr Brendan Ludlow (cpsma@dioceseofmeath.ie) who will then forward the panel to the school.
Catholic Schools Week will be celebrated from 31 January to 6 February. This year's theme is "A Light for Every Generation". Full details available from www.catholicbishops.ie Resources have been prepared for Home, School & Parish during this week and are available for download below. Copies of the Booklet have been sent to all parishes in the diocese of Meath.
