The information regarding teacher resignations on page 7 of the Executive Summary of the Gerard Daniels report includes details of teachers ceasing their fixed term contract of appointment. The information on question without notice number 304 relates only to resignation and retirement of permanent primary and secondary teachers in 2006.
