It was necessary for my Department to introduce an interim payment arrangement for teachers who were first appointed to the teaching profession since 01st February 2012 pending the outcome of the review of public sector allowances by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. Arrangements are being made to have the payment issues raised by the Deputy resolved and officials of my Department will be in contact with the person referred to.
