The issue of the reckoning of casual and non-casual teaching service for the purpose of incremental credit has been the subject of discussions at the teachers conciliation council. As no agreement has been reached the issue is now being referred for arbitration in accordance with the terms of the revised conciliation and arbitration scheme for teachers.

My Department is not in a position to award incremental credit for such service in second level schools pending the outcome of the arbitration hearing.
