Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 July 2015
519. Deputy Seán Kyne asked the Minister for Education and Skills when a delegated sanction, permitted under the Act establishing the education and training boards, will be sanctioned to the Galway Roscommon Education and Training Board, which is required so that the board may appoint educational officers, principal officers and assistant principal officers; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27704/15]
View answerMy Department is in the process of finalising a delegated sanction agreement for the education sector with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. This agreement will replace the existing Employment Control Framework arrangements which have been in place since 2010. When the Delegated Sanction Agreement has been finalised my officials will discuss with the operationalisation of the agreements with the Education and Training Boards, which includes the Galway Roscommon Education and Training Board.
It is important, however, to note that the operation of the agreement will be subject to multi-annual pay ceilings that have been set by Government for the period 2015-2017.
