Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 October 2005
549 Mr. Deasy asked the Minister for Education and Science if she has made a decision regarding payment of the standard category two secondment allowance to a person (details supplied) in County Waterford; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30500/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe category two allowance is payable to teachers who are seconded to a range of positions under the various national education initiatives, in accordance with the findings of the teachers arbitration board in July 2003. The person concerned is not a seconded teacher and therefore is not in receipt of the allowance. However, my Department is reviewing the arrangements applying under the various national education initiatives following the implementation of the seconded teachers' arbitration award. I will advise the Deputy as to the outcome when the review is completed.
