Public Accounts Committee
Department of Education and Skills - Review of Allowances
12:50 pm
Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:
The people who are marking the scripts for terminal exams. If it was €8 per script they would get €8 per script.
Where we have moved to semesterisation, there has been a move from paying €8 per script at the end of the year to €4 per script twice yearly. The allowance is also payable in the university sector and it is part of the overall €9 million. Universities have similar arrangements but the allowance is not payable to professors and associate professors. It is payable to more junior academic staff.
