Education Minister Norma Foley has pledged to make “further progress” on pay issues in the second-level sector over the course of the Government’s lifetime.

Over the past decade, the Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI) has consistently campaigned against pay inequality, which sees teachers appointed after 2011 being paid less than their colleagues.
