VECs calling for ban on recruitment to be lifted

Schools around the country face being left with no cleaners or caretakers as those positions will not be filled under the current ban on hiring, the Irish Vocational Education Association has warned.

It is expected that the body, which represents Irish Vocational Education Committees (IVECs) around the country, will call for the moratorium on these positions and on key educational posts to be lifted at their upcoming congress, which takes place on September 16 and 17 in Dromoland’s Clare Inn Hotel.
