Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Vocational Teachers.

Mr. Corish

asked the Minister for Education if it is proposed to permit vocational education committees to pay a bonus to the part-time teachers in their employment; and, if so, what will be the amount of such bonus.

Minister for Education (Mr. Derrig)

The question of permitting vocational education committees to pay an emergency bonus to part-time teachers in their employment is at present under consideration by my Department in consequence of a request received from one of these committees, but I am not yet in a position to make any announcement on the subject. If it is found possible to grant permission for the payment of such a bonus, the committees will be notified as soon as a decision is reached.

Mr. Corish

Does the Minister expect to have an early decision on the matter?

Mr. Derrig

Well, yes.

Mr. Corish

And would the provisions be retrospective in the same way as the others?

Mr. Derrig

I could not answer that at the moment.
