Trinity Order To Cease 'Unauthorised' Lecturer Payments
Trinity College has been ordered to stop paying an "unauthorised" allowance worth up to €3,000 to each of its lecturers.
The tutors' allowance has been given to lecturers who provide confidential personal support to students who are having problems with exams and finances. But Trinity never got the required permission from Education Minister Ruairi Quinn’s department to pay the allowance and has now been told to halt it in the summer.
The payment of up to €3,000 was being made to 117 Trinity lecturers. It had been in place since the 1970s, but the college was required under 1997 legislation to get permission to keep paying it.
"The university has been directed to permanently cease the payment of the unauthorised allowance with effect from July 2013," Mr Quinn said.
