The terms and conditions of employment, including salary, are dictated by the environment in which one teaches. The centres, which is how we refer to them, are out-of-school providers. This means that they are not within the general and traditional experience of schooling. I know that the issue raised by the Deputy is one that is particularly important and pertinent to the Cork Life Centre and, indeed, many other centres. It is for this reason that we are undertaking a full review. All of the issues, including terms and conditions, will be looked at as part of the review.
