Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 November 2016
253. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government the reason the 2009 circular issued to local authorities which states that in the case of staff employed in more than one capacity, each employment may be treated separately for the purposes of calculating revised remuneration in accordance with this circular was applied for two years and then changed in 2011. [37493/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraOn 22 December 2009, my Department issued Circular EL 17/2009 which, in regard to staff employed in more than one capacity, stated:
“Dual Employment
In the case of staff employed in more than one capacity, each employment may be treated separately for the purposes of calculating revised remuneration in accordance with this circular”.
On 28 January 2011, my Department issued Circular EL 01/2011 which, on the same issue, stated:
“Dual Employment
In the case of staff employed in more than one capacity, each employment may be treated separately for the purposes of calculating revised remuneration in accordance with this circular.”
As the Deputy will note, with regard to staff employed in more than one capacity, there was no change from the 2009 Circular to the 2011 Circular.
Questions Nos. 254 and 255 answered with Question No. 250.
