PART-TIME TEACHERS will shortly receive €45 million in back pay because of “incompetence” by the Minister for Education and his department, Fine Gael claimed yesterday.
Brian Hayes, party spokesman on education, said the taxpayer was facing this bill as a result of the unwillingness of the Minister to address the issue.
But the department said it has no record of indicating that the bill would be €45 million. It said the actual bill will be closer to €10 million.
