Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 September 2015
1214. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Education and Skills the date on which the Teaching Conciliation Council will make a decision on whether teaching service in another EU member state before taking up a teaching position here, will count towards relevant service for the purposes of entering teaching on a higher pay scale. [30777/15]
View answerThe issue raised by the Deputy is currently being considered at the Teachers' Conciliation Council. The Teachers' Conciliation Council is the recognised forum for dealing with matters relating to pay and conditions of service of teachers. The parties to the forum include representatives of the managerial authorities of schools, the teacher unions, the Department of Education and Skills and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
As the proceedings of the Conciliation Council are confidential it would not be appropriate for me to make any comment at this time.
