Home tutors, who provide tuition to children that are unable to attend school, must be treated as employees of the Department of Education and not ‘sub-contractors’ as they are now.

That’s according to Cork TD Colm Burke (Fine Gael), who is calling for home tutors to be officially designated as employees of the Department of Education.
