To ask the Minister for Social Protection if her attention has been drawn to the fact that two members of staff who are redeployed from FAS to her Department and are carrying out all of the higher grade duties whilst on secondment to LES Limerick on a continuous basis for 16 years, have not received the acting up allowance currently €16,135 since January 2012; that they have been informed that this allowance will not be paid until they sign their transfer contracts; however this allowance is not reckonable for superannuation purposes even though they now pay full pension contributions due on their full salary for the past 16 years; her plans to regularise this situation and if not, what recourse the employees have to ensure regularisation of their situation whilst retaining their rights as civil servants; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

As the matter referred to by the Deputy is the subject of discussion between the individuals’ union representative and my Department it would not be appropriate to make a statement on the matter.
