Question:210 Mr. O'Shea asked the Minister for Education and Science the proposals, if any, he has to introduce a pension scheme for primary school caretakers; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5378/00]
Written Answers. - School Caretakers.
The issue of introducing a pension scheme for primary school caretakers was fully explored in 1985 when a superannuation scheme was being introduced for secretaries in primary schools. However, at that time, the age profile of the caretakers employed under the scheme rendered the proposal impractical.
There are no plans at present to introduce such a pension scheme.
