The public service-wide review referred to in Circular 70/2011, was carried out by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. As a result of the review, qualification allowances were abolished with effect from 1 February 2012. My Department's Circular 0008/2013 outlines the effect of this decision on teachers.
