Teachers' careers in the balance over 'spurious' complaints, union warns

TUI members voted to support teachers accused of “spurious complaints”.

Some teachers have been left to wait for as many as 18 months for sexual harassment investigations to conclude, with the final result seeing that the complaint was unfounded and had no case to answer.

It has left some "broken as it hangs over them" until a decision is made, Donegal secondary school teacher Ursula O'Connor told the Irish Examiner.
