Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 28 September 2006
161 Mr. O’Shea asked the Minister for Finance when approval will be given for the pension scheme proposal for primary school caretakers submitted to his Department from the Department of Education and Science; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30310/06]
View answerMy Department has no objection, in principle, to the pension scheme proposal submitted by the Department of Education and Science for certain caretakers employed in certain primary schools. However, there are some details in relation to the proposal which remain to be considered further before formal sanction to the scheme can be given by my Department. Discussions on these issues are ongoing between the two Departments and I would expect the outstanding issues to be resolved in the near future.
