413 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Education and Science if staff in his Department involved in an industrial relations dispute and thereby working to rule, have been paid their wages on occasions when this form of protest has occurred. [29497/00]

There have been occasions where staff within the Department of Education and Science, involved in limited forms of industrial action, were paid their salaries.
