Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2017
416. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Education and Skills if days worked in a primary school by a person (details supplied) while employed and paid directly by the board of management can be counted towards a teacher's service, thus enabling them to move to a higher point of the pay scale; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe criteria for the award of Incremental Credit to recognised Primary teachers are set out in circulars 10/2001 and 29/2010 and were agreed under the auspices of the Teacher Conciliation Council.
No application has been received to date in respect of the person referred to by the Deputy. An award for incremental credit may only be considered on foot of an application to my Department. She will need to complete in full the application form and have her previous employer(s) forward it to Incremental Credit Unit, Department Education & Skills, Cornamaddy, Athlone, Co. Westmeath, N37 X659. Application forms are available on my Department's web page.
