Under the terms of Circular 0006/2014 the supervision and substitution allowance was discontinued with effect from the commencement of the 2013/14 school year. This Circular also provided that a gross additional payment of €1,592 in lieu of the supervision and substitution allowance would be included in the Common Basic Scale for teachers in two moieties - half in the school year 2016/17 and half in the school year 2017/18. This payment is payable to members of the TUI who have accepted the Lansdowne Road Agreement.
The number of teachers in the voluntary secondary sector who are currently in receipt of the gross additional payment of €796 in respect of the 2016/2017 school year is 320.
