7. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment the application process for higher scales for administrative grades below the grade of assistant principal operated in his Department (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2645/26]
View answerI can confirm to the Deputy that the application process for higher scales for administrative grades below the grade of Assistant Principal operated in my Department is administered in line with Government Circular 24/1995.
The cross-sectoral process in place in my Department is to acknowledge any officer who has been awarded the higher scale in their current role and then joins my Department, or transfers to a recipient Department, at the same grade, carry the higher scale with them.
The impact on the the entitlements within the receiving Department is restricted to transfer/mobility at the same grade.
