Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 November 2013
242. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding an Irish teaching allowance in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Mayo; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50650/13]
View answerUnder the terms of circular 008/2013 titled "Public Sector-Wide review of Allowances and Premium Payments" the person referred to by the Deputy lost her entitlement to the allowance in question when she commenced in a new job role after 1 February 2012. A teacher cannot gain or regain entitlement to this allowance on or after 1 February 2012, as the allowance was withdrawn for new beneficiaries with effect from that date.
