A Special Congress of the Teachers’ Union of Ireland takes place tomorrow, Saturday, 9th May 2026, in the Clayton Hotel, Burlington Road, Leeson Street Upper, Dublin 4, for the purpose of considering proposed changes to the Union’s Rule Book.
The Executive Committee saw it as both necessary and timely to convene a Special Congress under Section G (ii), Rules 25 – 29, inclusive, of the current Rule book to consider and decide upon proposed changes to the Rule Book, arising from extensive legal, regulatory, and governance advice received by the Union.
The motions are intended to safeguard the Union, its officers, and its members, and to ensure that our governance structures remain robust, compliant, and fit for purpose.
Rule 27 provides that the Executive Committee when convening a Special Congress shall give notice of not less than 8 weeks. In this instance and to facilitate full consultation with Branches and members, a longer period of notice was provided.
Full information on all aspects of this Special Congress have been circulated to branches.
Safe travelling to all delegates!
