The Teaching Council has called for a teacher to be removed from the Register of Teachers after an inquiry found him guilty of professional misconduct over inappropriate relationships with two Leaving Certificate students at the school where he taught.

Counsel for the Teaching Council said the “extremely serious” findings against the teacher were incompatible with him remaining as a registered teacher.
