Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 January 2014
238. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide, in tabular form and year on year, the occasions on which he has signed off on the awarding of added years to public sector workers between March 2011 and December 2013; the grade of the persons awarded the added years; and the number of added years awarded in each instance. [1358/14]
View answerThe following table provides details of Professional Added Years awarded in five Universities and in the Institutes of Technology, with my approval. Added years are only awarded to staff in universities strictly in accordance with the rules of the pension schemes. Individual cases are evaluated by officials in accordance with the pension scheme rules in the Departments of Education & Skills and Public Expenditure and Reform as agreed by the Ministers. These are awarded in accordance with the pension scheme rules of the relevant body. The details provided relate to awards approved since the transfer of the schemes to the NPRF in 2009/2010 up to December 2013. The funded pension schemes of NUIG, Trinity College, UCD, NUIM and UCC were taken over by the National Pension Reserve Fund in 2009/2010 under the Financial Measures (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009. Following the transfer of schemes all discretions, including the award of Professional Added Years are exercisable jointly by the Minister for Education and Skills and the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. The discretion to award added years have been exercised strictly in accordance with the rules of the schemes. The Institutes of Technology Professional Added Years' awards are made in accordance with the rules of their pension scheme and the details relate to the same period.
