Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a person (details supplied) in County Mayo is entitled to be paid at the pre-January 2011 salary scale as a teacher, similar to those persons who qualified at the same time, and in view of the fact that this person can provide evidence of his employment in 2010.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe person referred to by the Deputy is regarded as a new appointee to teaching under the terms of Circular 0040/2011. The terms of that Circular apply only to personnel who are paid on payrolls operated by my Department or by Education and Training Boards and not to personnel employed and paid by an individual school managerial authority. Personnel whose first teaching appointment was paid for by the Department of Education and Skills or an Education and Training Board after 1st January 2011 are considered new appointees under the terms of Circular 0040/2011.
