Amharc ar fhreagraThe teacher referred to by the Deputy is registered with the Teaching Council as a Post Primary school teacher under Route 2 registration. The teacher is working in a primary school. Rates of pay are linked to registration with the Teaching Council for the sector where a teacher is undertaking the work.
As the teacher is not registered with the Teaching Council as a primary school teacher and it is a primary school where the work is being undertaken, a lower rate of payment is applied.
