I refer to your further correspondence in relation to the award of incremental credit.
The position remains the same as previously outlined on the 14th June 2022. The criteria for the award of incremental credit with regard to earlier experience is outlined in Circular 0139/2006, assets.gov.ie/14909/fb36164621cf48118052a727fae891c1.pdf, for special needs assistants (SNAs), and was agreed in the first instance, by the Teacher Conciliation Council (TCC). This Council is comprised of representatives of the teacher unions, school management bodies, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, and the Department of Education chaired by an official of the Workplace Relations Commission.
An application for previous service as a school secretary was received in the incremental credit section on 24th May 2022.
Please be advised this application is currently being processed by the Department and a letter will issue to applicant within the coming days.
