Ruairi Quinn: Deal to equalise payscale ‘in near future’
Acknowledging concerns that there were three separate payscales for teachers doing the same job, Education Minister Ruairi Quinn told delegates at the second day of the Irish National Teachers’ Organisation congress that progress on equalising payscales could be made “in the near future”.
It is understood that talks between officials at the Department of Education and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and union leaders have taken place in the hope of merging the 2011 payscale with the 2010 one.
