To ask the Minister for Education and Skills in spite of written confirmation that a person (details supplied) will be paid on the old scale and will not be considered a new entrant, the person was told by his Department on a 25 January 2013, 0008/2013, circular that they will be paid as a new entrant; if he will confirm that the person is in fact to be paid on the old scale; the action he will take regarding newly qualified teachers in equally ambiguous situations; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The introduction of this new salary scale has been a complex task which has required a detailed implementation process. My Department, in consultation with VECs, is working through the operational aspects of these changes as they affect existing teachers and their pay.

The case of the person referred to by the Deputy is being examined. The person will be advised of the position in the near future.
