Teaching Council to hold first fitness-to-teach inquiry today
The details of the teacher involved and the allegations involved are not known, but the public and media may attend the two-day hearing at the council’s offices in Maynooth, Co Kildare. It has already been decided that the identities of the teacher, their school, and any witnesses cannot be made public.
The council was set up in 2006, but the fitness-to-teach complaints process was only given legal status by Education Minister Richard Bruton a year ago.
