Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 September 2015
1345. Deputy Jim Daly asked the Minister for Education and Skills if time spent completing an internship under the JobBridge scheme at a primary school can be counted towards supplementary panel rights for the teacher; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [32170/15]
View answerUnder current arrangements, reckonable service which is allowable for the purpose of Supplementary Panel access is service as a fully qualified teacher in a post paid for by the Department of Education and Skills, excluding certain service types as listed in Circular 0072/2014.
Arrangements for supplementary panel access for fixed term (temporary/substitute) and part-time teachers for the 2016/17 school year will be reviewed with the relevant education partners shortly and my Department will publish the finalised arrangements in due course.
