The country’s largest second-level union has voted to take industrial action unless the Government immediately addresses its key concerns around Covid-19 in schools.

Members of the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI) have voted in favour of taking industrial action, up to and including strike action, unless its requirements are met.
