Drip, drip, drip. Maybe people may start to take notice.
Shame on INTO executive and membership for accepting a pay deal below inflation which in reality constitutes a pay cut.

The INTO are pure useless. They will never upset the status quo. When there was a real chance of united teacher action in 2001 it was they that fucked it all up. Older primary teachers are one of the most conservative groups in the country

Not to mention the time they practically endorsed Mary Hanafin as Minister for Education directly prior to a general election.
They are so conservative that the use of organisation rather than union was entirely deliberate and I say that as a long suffering member.

A load of local schools lined the road up to Fintans in Sutton for Paddy Hillery’s funeral. After the ceremony a lot of the school kids were in the cemetery. Hanafin went up to one group to thank them and she asked what school they were from. Quick as a flash the teacher says ‘the one with no roof’

I was talking to the girls said Mary icily.

Won’t matter.
Many schools with a religious ethos don’t teach the current RSE course or anything close to it. They’ll just ignore this one too.
That’s not to say it isn’t batshit crazy of course.

Irish State prioritising Mental Heath?

Not much better here FWIW. Stagnation and contraction of public services seems to be a worldwide de-facto policy of the global economic overlords.
