Written answers

My Department has issued instructions for payment of revised salary scales and the institutes of technology have been requested to furnish details of the costs involved. On receipt each institute's 2004 allocation will be revised to include the associated costs for the implementation of the craftworkers and general operatives award.

The overall funding provided to the university sector for 2004 includes provision for the implementation of the award. The management of available resources is a matter for the third level institutions.
