The Boards of Management of schools are responsible for the employment of ancillary staff. Funding to cater for these services is made available from my Department through the Ancillary Services and Capitation Grants.

It is a matter for the Board of Management of the school to determine whether the individual concerned may continue to work until 70 years of age having regard to their employment contract and any employment legislation that is in place.
