Is it Mr. Moloney's view those special arrangements should be of an indefinite nature as they are at present? Mr. Moloney can correct me if I am wrong but my understanding is a teacher - not to pick on teachers as my three sisters and my wife are teachers - could be elected as a Member of the Oireachtas and 25 years later, having lost the job, that person could return to teaching as the position would have been kept open for that person. Does Mr. Moloney believe a timeframe should apply to these special leave arrangements?
