According to my Department's records the teacher referred to by the Deputy is not currently being paid by my Department's payroll. If employed and paid by an Education and Training Board (ETB) the teacher concerned should submit evidence of her previous Oireachtas funded teaching service to the relevant ETB for consideration in relation to the appropriate salary scale. In general a teacher first appointed to an Oireachtas funded teaching post before 1 January 2011 whose date of first qualified Oireachtas funded teaching service is before 5 December 2011 will be paid on the pre-2011 qualified pay scale and the qualification allowances applicable to that scale.
