Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 June 2014
252. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 194 of 27 May 2014, if he will inform the person (details supplied) of his Department's decision as they were never informed verbally by the school in order that they can submit an appeal to his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25889/14]
View answerAs advised previously to the Deputy in replies to PQs on the 8th and 27th of May the employer of the person to whom the Deputy refers was informed by my Department's Payroll Division on 21 March 2014 that, as the requirement for continuous service outlined in circular letter 0034/2009 had not been satisfied, a Contract of Indefinite Duration could not be awarded in this case. CID refusal letters issue directly to the school and not to the individual teacher. The school have confirmed to my Department that the teacher was informed of the decision. As previously advised there is an appeals procedure which may be availed of as set out in circular letter 0034/2009 and 0050/2006. An appeal must be made within 4 working weeks of the date a person is notified by their employer that they have not been awarded a Contract of Indefinite Duration. No appeal was received in this case.
