Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn)

The information requested by the Deputy is personal information and I do not propose to make it available.

It was the agreement "Towards 2016" Ten Year Framework Social Partnership Agreement 2006 – 2015 which provided that all payments to teachers paid on the Department payrolls would be made electronically.

The agreement was contained in Section 31.22 titled " Rationalisation of Pay Arrangements".
