asked the Minister for Education if he will state whether he received, and, if so when, a query from or on behalf of certain vocational teachers in County Kildare as to their liability to suffer superannuation deductions from their emoluments, whether such query has been determined and the amounts involved expressed as a percentage of their emoluments.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Superannuation Deductions.
The query in question was received in November last—as to the liability of certain teachers employed by County Kildare Vocational Education Committee to make contributions under the Local Government (Superannuation) Act, 1948, and a decision was issued in February. Further submissions which have since been made on behalf of the teachers, are at present under consideration.
The contributions in question would amount to 5 per cent. of the pensionable remuneration of the teachers.
Will the Minister try to expedite the issue of his final determination?
