Public Accounts Committee

2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 26 - Office of Minister for Education

9:30 am

Ms Martina Mannion:

We have a long way to go. I might add a couple of things. We are very conscious of the fact that, as the Secretary General mentioned, it is an opt-in piece. However, we are working intensively with the teacher unions and the Retired Teachers’ Association of Ireland to ensure that we promote this. We have information notes going out about signing up for these payslips. We provide details of this to people as they come on board, we provide training to new school staff, we are emailing the schools, we have updated our content on MyGovID and we are using the press office.
