The minister for further education has said he is “not happy” some Education and Training Boards (ETB) have yet to offer their adult educators a salary, adding they “need to get on board fast”.

James Lawless told the annual congress of the Teachers' Union of Ireland (TUI) contracts for adult educators are expected to be “in place by September this year”.
