Declan Breathnach

Question:

111. Deputy Declan Breathnach asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will address a matter (details supplied) whereby due to an error in his Department's payroll system, a person has been left on point one on the pay scale, rather than point three at which they should be; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that in view of this error the person has been precluded from getting onto the supplementary panel and therefore precluded from participation in job interviews; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24879/17]
