Ceist:475. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she will review the situation of a primary school teacher (details supplied) and 29 similar cases who, due to an anomaly, lost the payment of qualification allowance following the decision to remove same from new beneficiaries in the public service from January 2011; the reason this happened to these teachers while other graduates in the same year held the payment; if she will confirm the loss was €3,076 in gross pay per annum; the reason those teachers who studied for a fourth year to increase their skills set were targeted for the cut; the significance of working on 5 December 2011; the way the date was selected; the reason same was chosen; the logic behind it; the situation where teachers with 12 years less experience than the teacher earn €3,046 more per annum than they do; if this anomaly/injustice will be reversed or a commitment provided to so do; if this injustice has been challenged in the system or through the courts; if senior counsel opinion on the legality and injustice of same is available and will be provided; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
