Approval for school industrial action

Teachers at a school in Limerick have had their vote on industrial action endorsed by the national executive of their union.

Last week, Teachers’ Union of Ireland members at Coláiste Chairáin, Croom, unanimously voted in favour of action up to and including strike.

The staff have been in dispute with the school’s high-profile principal, Noel Malone. They had raised grievances related to management and operation of the school.
