Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 June 2015
1001. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of staff who had reached 65 years of age, had retired from an institute of further education (details supplied) in County Wicklow and who were requested to return to teach; and if she is aware of the case of a person who is 80 years of age and who is employed in the sector. [22282/15]
View answerThe employment of staff in Education and Training Boards (ETB) is an operational matter for individual ETBs as employers. Kildare and Wicklow ETB, the employer in this case, has informed my Department that one former staff member who had retired was asked to return late in the academic year for an average of 2 hours per week and another staff member who works on average less than one hour per day has recently reached eighty years of age.
