Adult education tutors are campaigning for a public service contract with a common sector-wide incremental salary scale. There are approximately 3,000 adult tutors who are public servants but who do not have public service contracts or access to an incremental salary scheme. This means that they have to sign on when they are off during the summer, at Christmas and at other times. They need to be treated fairly. The adult education sector is vital. I salute these tutors. They love their work, give their time willingly and deal with people with all kinds of issues. However, they need to be treated fairly and have access to full rights with holidays and full incremental payments like their counterparts who are employed by the Department.
When will the Taoiseach deal with this?
