Laois Offaly Education and Training Board (LOETB) requested the Department to review the relevant non-teaching incremental credit application of the teacher concerned. The Department processes applications in date received order. The Department will advise LOETB staff of the outcome when the application has been reviewed and they will then update the teacher.

On the 6 April 2017, an incomplete application was received by the Teacher Terms and Conditions Section of the Department of Education for relevant non-teaching for the same period that the teacher is applying for again. The Department advised the teacher at the time of the correct procedure for submitting applications, but a new application was only submitted to the Department in this school year.
