N E W S Payroll savings request poses ‘unpalatable’ options In meetings over the summer the education partners in Ireland, including NAPD met with senior offi cials of the Department of Education & Skills, who invited them to suggest how 350 million euro in payroll savings can be delivered the year after next (2012- 13). This is a requirement under the EU/IMF Bailout agreement, and if the partners cannot suggest areas to achieve the necessary savings, there will be an imperative to increase the Pupil-Teacher-Ratio (P-T-R) with all the negative connotations associated with such a move. The Director, Clive Byrne, has briefed the National Executive on the savings options. All of them are unpalatable, but at Executive level they have been the subject of a debate and an intensive question-and-an- swer session. NAPD will continue to liaise with the education partners in an attempt to safeguard existing resources but there is little room to manoeuvre. Here he sets out the hard facts of the situation. 34 <strong>ESHA</strong> MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER 2011
PAYROLL SAVINGS REQUEST POSES ‘UNPALATABLE’ OPTIONS NAPD, as a professional association, is not involved in the Teachers’ Conciliation Council or negotiations dealing with salary and terms and conditions of employment at national level. The context is the reality that school Principals routinely make diffi cult choices regarding the disbursement of scarce resources. Following the comprehensive briefi ng given by the senior offi cials on the 21 June last, NAPD representatives met with other education partners to explore various options to avoid direct salary cuts and across the board increases to the P-T-R. It was agreed that it was open to any organisation to respond to the Department but that a collective response could not be agreed. <strong>ESHA</strong> MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER 2011 35
