Minister of State at the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science

From enquiries made by my officials with City of Dublin ETB, I understand that the person concerned retired on ill-health grounds in late December 2023 and applied for the award of professional added years in early January.  City of Dublin ETB submitted the application to the pensions section in the Department of Education, which retains regulatory responsibility for the ETB Sector, in mid January and a decision is awaited.
