The criteria required to have incremental credit awarded to post-primary school teachers are set out in the Department of Education Circulars 29/2007 & 29/2010 the contents of which were agreed under the auspices of the Teachers' Conciliation Council (TCC).  This Council is comprised of representatives of the teacher unions, school management bodies, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, and the Department of Education chaired by an Official of the Workplace Relations Commission. The terms and conditions set out in that circular were agreed, by negotiation, under the auspices of the TCC.

As Mr. Barry is employed in Selskar College, which is an ETB school, his application will have to be processed by Waterford and Wexford Education and Training Board (WWETB).
