Circular Pay0145/2006

To the Management Authorities of Primary, Secondary,

Community and Comprehensive Schools and

the Chief Executive Officer of each Vocational Education Committee

Revision of Teachers Salarieswith effect from 01 December 2006
  1. The Minister for Education and Science wishes to inform Vocational Education Committees, Management Authorities and Teachers of the application of revised rates of salary and allowances with effect from 1 December, 2006
  1. The new ratesof salary and certain allowances have been introduced,due to the implementation of Phase 1 of “Towards 2016”.

In accordance with Section 27.17 an increase of 3% is due with effect from 1 December 2006.

  1. Payment of the 3% increase as provided for by Towards 2016is dependent, in the case of each organisation and grade, on verification of co-operation with flexibility and ongoing change, satisfactory implementation of the agenda for modernisation, maintenance of stable industrial relations and absence of industrial action in respect of any matters covered by the Towards 2016 agreement. The Secretary General, in consultation with the Education Sector Performance Verification Group (ESPVG), has decided that the level of progress achieved during the period warrants the payment of the relevant pay increase.
  1. The increases under the terms of this Agreement apply to basic pay and allowances (including revised daily rates for casual and non-casualteachers in the primary sector) and are set out in a schedule to this circular which can be accessed on this Department’s website at under Education Personnel/Payroll.
  1. Revised rates for casual and non-casual part-time teachers in the post-primary sector will issue under a separate Circular 0146/2006.
  1. Vocational Education Committees and Management Authorities are requested to bring the contents of this circular and the schedule to the attention of Teachers in their schools and to the members of the Board of Management.
  1. The increased pay rate together with any arrears due will be included in salary issues dated 18th January, 2007 (post-primary) and 25th January, 2007 (primary).
  1. Queries regarding this Circular should be e-mailed to

P. Maloney,

Principal Officer.
