Michael Fitzmaurice
Question:555. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Education and Skills in respect of the rates of pay for casual and part-time teachers in secondary schools who are employed on an ad hoc basis depending on the immediate requirements of a specific school, if it is commonplace for such teachers to be employed as substitutes in more than one school in any academic year, whether it be a school run by an education and training board, a voluntary school, or otherwise, if there is a discrepancy in how casual part-time workers are remunerated depending on what school employs them for such work, given that her Department pays the full hourly rate of pay to qualified secondary school teachers for all substitution and supervision work and the education training boards only pay the full qualified rate to qualified teachers if the classes they cover are for subjects that they are registered for with the Teaching Council; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
