I take it that the Deputy is referring to pay arrears that may be due to part-time teachers in the context of the Protection of Employees (Part-time Work) Act, 2001.

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department is working towards the implementation of a system that will facilitate the processing of claims for payment of the part-time teachers concerned. My Department is anxious to accelerate the rate of progress on this matter as quickly as possible and will be in contact with schools in due course.
