Seán Fleming: Yesterday, the committee met teachers and representatives of the Department of Education and Skills. Teachers receive an allowance for yard duty supervision but the allowance is pensionable. It is additional work, almost akin to overtime, and amounts to 33 hours per year. The additional hours for the Irish Prison Service staff are very close to core pay but it is not pensionable. It is...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2011 Appropriation Accounts of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Vote 25: Environment, Community and Local Government - Review of Allowances (31 Oct 2012) Seán Fleming: When I consider local authorities, the issue of travel comes to mind. Many local authority staff members must use their own cars, for which they probably receive a quarterly allowance. I am sure that when they started the job, they measured how far they travelled in a three or six month period. I ask Ms Tallon to explain this arrangement. People have complained to me that in local...

Vote 25: Environment, Community and Local Government - Review of Allowances (31 Oct 2012) Seán Fleming: I would like to think I am wrong, but I have heard complaints. It seems unfair that this would be the case, but I am assured that it does happen.

Vote 25: Environment, Community and Local Government - Review of Allowances (31 Oct 2012) Seán Fleming: People use their own cars.

I ask Ms Tallon to discuss this matter or provide us with a note on it. I am not saying there is anything wrong with it; an area engineer must have a...

Vote 25: Environment, Community and Local Government - Review of Allowances (31 Oct 2012) Seán Fleming: I understand and we are agreed on that point. I have no problem with the allowance, but I am seeking a note on how the system operates. Would a city or county manager have the information? The Department does not need to survey every local authority. An area engineer or road supervisor with a couple of depots in his or her area would hop in a car, travel ten miles today and 48 tomorrow....
