The criteria for the award of incremental credit to recognised teachers was agreed under the auspices of the Teachers Conciliation Council (TCC). This Council is comprised of representatives of teachers, school management, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the Department of Education. The Council is chaired by an official of the Workplace Relations Commission.
The criteria for the award of incremental credit are set out in my Department’s Circulars 29/2007 and 29/2010 for Post-Primary teachers.
To-date, my Department has not yet received an application for incremental credit from the person named. However the relevant unit of my Department has been in contact with the person named to discuss the matter with them and to assist them in submitting an application for incremental credit should they wish to do so.
