The executive committee of the Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI) today restated its opposition to the so-called Croke Park proposals and decided not to engage with the Department in discussions regarding the implementation of the proposals.

The executive committee also re-iterated that it would have to consult with members through TUI’s structures and processes before undertaking any engagement on these proposals.

In order to fully comprehend the official side’s position, the union will meet with the Department of Education and Skills so as to be adequately informed and to enable it to consult fully with members.
