Episode Details

Delegates at the Irish National Teachers’ Organisation (INTO) Congress in Killarney have issued stark warnings to Government over the growing impact of the cost-of-living crisis on teachers, passing a series of emergency motions that highlight mounting financial pressures, concerns over school funding, and the potential for industrial action. Amid rising inflation and ongoing disputes over pay and allowances, union leaders cautioned that failure to address teachers’ concerns could trigger significant unrest. For more on this, Alan Morrissey was joined on the line by Clare's INTO representative and Principal of Sixmilebridge National School, Gareth Heagney. Image © Wokandapix from pixabay via Canva
