Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 June 2015
548. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 1000 of 9 June 2015, the reason why certain teachers had to pass the CL47/00 in order to keep their jobs, but other tutors, who failed to pass the CL47/00 requirements, were kept in teaching positions and not bound by productivity measures contained in the Croke Park and Haddington Road agreements. [24831/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraUpon the commencement of section 30 of the Teaching Council Act, 2001 which was commenced on 28 January 2014, those staff who were in teaching posts and were classed as Teachers when the Haddington Road Agreement came into force on 1 July 2013 were therefore liable to deliver additional hours in the form of Supervision & Substitution (S&S). For those staff who converted to Tutor posts, on the commencement of section 30 of the Teaching Council Act, the individuals in question retained their pay and terms of employment. Therefore, they also retained the full liability to perform S&S.
Any new recruits to these types of post will be recruited as Tutors. All other Tutors and any new recruits to these positions are covered by DES Circular 36/2013 and have the additional liability to pay and productivity measures as outlined in that Circular. They are not liable to perform S&S as they are not Teachers.
