Public Service Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2004: Committee Stage.

 

12:00 pm

Derek McDowell (Labour)

I do not want to delay matters so I will save the issue of nurses for a few moments. I wish to ask the Minister of State about the issue to which he referred, which the Acting Chairman deemed to be in order, namely gardaĆ­. He specified that gardaĆ­ had an implied contract. I am not quite sure what that means. Does it mean they have an actual contract of employment before they enter Templemore or does the contract begin on completion of training? If it is only an implied contract then it is simply an expectation that could also be applied to other bodies, including teachers.
