Vol. 406 No. 1
91 Mr. J. Higgins asked the Minister for Education the reason for the delay in rectifying her Department's miscalculation of the salary of a person (details supplied) in County Mayo which occurred over two years ago; and the reason for the failure to furnish this person with regular and up-to-date returns despite repeated requests to do so.
The case in question is extremely complicated. This, allied to pressure of work arising from a large volume of special claims in 1990, led to a delay in processing. It is expected that a full statement of the up-to-date position will be issued to the person concerned within the next couple of days.
92 Mr. Cowen asked the Minister for Education is she will arrange for payment of incremental credit to a teacher (details supplied) in County Offaly; the reason the teacher has remained on the same salary since 1985; when she will arrange for immediate payment of arrears; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
An application for the award of incremental credit under the terms of circular letter 24/90 has been received in my Department from the teacher in question. A large volume of such applications has been received and there has been some delay in processing them. The matter will be dealt with as soon as possible.
