Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 27 January 2021
438. Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Education if a derogation on teaching requirements to retain pension entitlements following career breaks can be introduced during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3611/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am pleased to inform the Deputy that career break is a sanctioned, approved leave and therefore, pension entitlements are protected for the duration of the career break. The Career BreakScheme for teachers is contained in Circular 0054/2019 titled ”Leave Schemes for Registered Teachers employed in Recognised Primary and Post Primary Schools."
