Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 2 June 2021
134. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Education if the service record of a person (details supplied) has been transferred from the Louth-Meath Education and Training Board to her Department; the reason for the delay in transferring the documentation; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29922/21]
View answerI wish to confirm to the Deputy that officials of the Pension Unit of my Department have been in communication since 2 May 2021 with the individual concerned and with the Louth-Meath Education and Training Board (LMETB), with regard to the person’s transfer of service. Statements of service had been previously supplied to the individual to share with the Department of Education. However, these statements do not have sufficient information to facilitate the official transfer of service. Whilst Transfer of Service details for this person were received by the Department of Education this week from Cavan Monaghan ETB, officials from my Department are currently awaiting the complete transfer of service details from LMETB and expect to receive this information shortly. Once the details of the transferrable service are received by the Department, the Pension Unit will update the Deputy directly, and will process this information expeditiously and issue a comprehensive statement to the individual concerned.
