Teacher representatives and all other members of the Teaching Council do not receive any payment for their membership. However, in accordance with the Teaching Council Act 2001, travel and subsistence allowances are payable to all members for expenses incurred for their attendance at meetings of the council and the various committees of the council which have been established in line with the legislation. Any payment of travel and subsistence allowances are subject to the terms and conditions which apply in the Civil Service circulars governing such payments.
