Teachers may go unpaid over lack of Garda vetting

The Teaching Council has issued the stark warning as more than 10% of the almost 6,700 teachers it has been writing to since January have failed to apply.
The retrospective vetting requirement for around 33,000 people on the Teaching Council register is being phased in throughout 2017. Those who have been sent letters, emails, and text messages from the start of the year are all due to have their registration renewed at the end of the month.
