View answerIn mid-2003 the teachers' arbitration board made recommendations in respect of a pay claim by teachers employed on secondment to national education initiatives funded by my Department. The recommendations provide for a standard pay structure for seconded teachers working temporarily out of school on a variety of such national programmes. The results of this determination have since been applied to qualifying teachers. The individual to whom the Deputy refers is not a seconded teacher and therefore the terms of the arbitration award referred to above do not apply.
