Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

My Department is awaiting bank account details from a total of 5 people so that their salary/pension can issue to them. Bank details are awaited from 1 serving teacher, 3 personnel paid on the payroll for retired teachers and non teaching staff of Primary, Voluntary Secondary / Community and Comprehensive schools and their spouses and children and 1 serving staff member of my Department.

All Government Departments ceased to issue Payable Orders with effect from the 30th August 2013 under the Public Service Reform Plan. On receipt of the outstanding bank account details for each of the 5 people, my Department will immediately arrange to issue their salary/pension to them.
