TUSE application due for submission at the end of this week according to Carlow Kilkenny TD

It’s as the Teachers Union of Ireland (TUI) members rejected the memorandum of understanding – though those at IT Carlow had accepted it with a 90% Yes vote because their Waterford IT colleagues rejected it by 56%, it failed overall.
