Fianna Fáil vows to end pay inequality for entrant teachers

Fianna Fáil has vowed to end pay inequality for entrant teachers saying the “crisis between the Government and public services” is one of the major topics it has encountered on the doorsteps.

Thomas Byrne, the Meath East TD and Fianna Fáil education spokesman, said that “pay inequality in the education sector is unfair and needs to end” in the context of the teachers’ strike, which saw close to 400 second-level schools shut across the country.
