I am informed by Waterways Ireland that there has been one instance of the nature referred to by the Deputy, where an employee returning to Waterways Ireland following a career break was deployed to a different job. I understand that the employee in question was informed, prior to the commencement of the career break, of the relevant rules in Circular 18/98 relating to career breaks.
