Minister ignores reports in favour of half-baked ideas, says TUI

EDUCATION Minister Noel Dempsey is good at raising "half-baked ideas" but has done nothing about expert reports, the Teachers Union of Ireland said yesterday.

Speaking at the opening of the TUI's annual conference in Galway, president Derek Dunne said dust was gathering on the McIver report on further education and the Points Commission report.

"This minister can talk the talk. The question is can he walk the walk?"
