That is a very good suggestion. The INTO, ASTI and TUI should be asked for their observations on that. It is a very interesting suggestion that the money would go to the schools and based on the hand-over to the teachers we should all know about it, rather than the current centralised system where they are paid on time every two weeks. They might have something to say about that, but it is an interesting proposal.
