Teachers’s industrial action w/Cllr Fergal Browne FG – 05/10/26

Cllr Fergal Browne FG – Municipal District of Carlow. He is principal of  Primary and secondary schools across the country are likely to experience disruptions from today as teachers begin industrial action. Members of the INTO and ASTI are commencing action in the form of a work-to-rule.

In some schools, it will mean disruptions to early drop-offs and late collections outside of school hours. INTO members will no longer cooperate with Croke Park hours which will lead to the withdrawal of pre- and post-school supervision, meaning that pupils can only be on school premises during official school hours. Members will also refrain from attending staff meetings and formal parent-teacher meetings outside of school hours.
