New entrant teachers cannot achieve parity as you did not reinstate qualification allowances which are considered part of core pay. Therefore there was a ten percent cut imposed plus these allowances worth typically €6000 to new entrant teachers. Also they now start at point one and not point three. As these things have not been reinstated it is a much bigger gap than 10%
