The information in relation to the 2013/14 school year which is currently the most up to date available was provided in the Reply to PQ 152 of the 27th January, 2015.

The resources required to abstract the information on the costs of employing retired teachers as substitutes in the 2013/14 school year are not currently available as all available staffing resources are allocated to dealing with a number of high priority payroll projects.

Retired teachers who are employed by the managerial authorities of schools as substitutes are paid on the first point of the incremental salary scale. This arrangement has applied since the 1st February 2012 and is referenced in Circular 8/2013.
