Public Accounts Committee

Department of Education and Skills - Review of Allowances

1:40 pm

Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

We will do both those things. I would add, looking at the examples and percentages, that although it goes up from 15% in the example, in fact the average allowance in the teaching cohort as a whole is 16%, but because of the allowances coming in with increased responsibility we wanted to give worked examples showing the different types of increased responsibility.
