The person in question sought payment of an allowance in respect of a three week period in August 2006, during which time his trade union claimed that he had acted up from the position of a drainage machine driver to that of ganger. In response the Office of Public Works reminded the trade unions that grades of machine driver and ganger had been amalgamated with effect from the 1st of June 2005, in accordance with national agreements made under the Parallel Benchmarking Process for the State Industrial Sector. In the circumstances no extra payments are due in this case.
