Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 31 October 2007
438 Deputy Beverley Flynn asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason no payment has been made for principals who act as secretaries of boards of management despite being due since September 2006 (details supplied). [26355/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe negotiations on the scheme referred to by the Deputy concluded in May 2007. My Department issued 2 Circulars (Circular 0065/2007 at Post-Primary and Circular 0079/2007 at Primary) in June 2007 and July 2007 respectively, advising schools that this scheme had been agreed. The circulars also included an application form. As the application forms, (properly completed), have been received in my Department, arrangements have been made to pay the appropriate allowance to the Principals concerned backdated to the 1st September 2006.
