The issue raised by the Deputy has been brought to the Teachers' Conciliation Council by representatives of the teachers concerned. The Teachers' Conciliation Council is the recognised forum for dealing with matters relating to pay and conditions of service of teachers. The parties to the forum include representatives of the managerial authorities of schools, the teacher unions, the Department of Education and Skills and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.

As the proceedings of the Conciliation Council are confidential it would not be appropriate for me to make any comment at this time.
