Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 November 2008
189 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Education and Science further to Parliamentary Question No. 489 of 4 November 2008, if the cost neutral early retirement scheme for secondary school teachers is still in place; the way a teacher may apply to take up the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42103/08]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs I stated in my reply of 4 November last, a Cost Neutral Early Retirement Scheme is currently in operation for teachers. Circular Letter PEN 07/05 sets out the full conditions of the scheme. A teacher may apply for cost neutral early retirement by completing an application form, available from my Department, and returning it, through the teacher's school, to my Department.
