TUI comment on resignation of Minister Ruairi Quinn
Comment from TUI General Secretary John MacGabhann.
‘While we had serious differences on the issue of Junior Cycle, we acknowledge the Minister’s commitment, notwithstanding the constraints of the austerity programme, to ensuring that all pupils have access to a public education system of the highest quality. It is also greatly to the Minister’s credit that he had begun to address the crisis of casualisation among teachers and lecturers in the education system.’
