418. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science the basis on which TU Dublin paid two separate individuals a salary at the president’s grade in 2019, 2020, 2021 and to date in 2022; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45485/22]
View answerSanction was provided for the salary to be applied in the case of any individual occupying the role of President of TU Dublin at a salary level equivalent to that previously applied to the President of the predecessor Dublin Institute of Technology. Under the terms of the TU Act 2018, a person who was the president of a dissolved predecessor institute of technology is entitled to become a fixed-term employee of the relevant newly-established TU for the duration of his or her contract of employment on terms and conditions relating to remuneration no less favourable than those to which the person was subject immediately before the establishment of the relevant TU.
