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, including the teacher referred to by the Deputy.

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.
