Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 November 2020
479. Deputy Richard Bruton asked the Minister for Education if she will consider extending an occupational injury scheme to teachers, similar to that which applies to gardaí and nurses, in view of the risk exposures the profession faces. [35362/20]
View answerThe provision of an occupational injury scheme for teachers is the subject of a claim, being brought to the Teachers' Conciliation Council (TCC). Discussions are taking place under the auspices of the TCC, to which the Department, management representatives and unions are all party.
As the proceedings of the TCC are confidential, it would not be appropriate for me to make any further comment while the claims remain under consideration.
