Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide in tabular form the numbers of teachers working casual hours or as substitutes who are being paid a rate given to unqualified people, meaning they are paid a daily rate of €115 instead of €159 and where others are being paid the old salary scale instead of the revised scale approved in autumn 2012.

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

There are currently 284 substitute and casual teachers in receipt of the daily unqualified rate of €115. I am pleased to inform the Deputy that these teachers will be paid on the correct rates of pay with effect from the 20th June 2013. Any arrears owed to them will be issued on the same date.
