Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection
Education and Training Boards Bill 2012: Discussion with Teachers Union of Ireland and National Adult Literacy Agency
10:55 am
Mr. Declan Glynn:
We have been asked to offer some clarity on the statutory rights and entitlements we see being disposed of. It is quite a straightforward matter. Since 1944, teachers may be dismissed following a local inquiry or a sworn inquiry. If a recommendation derives from such a sworn inquiry locally it is forwarded to the Minister, who sanctions or rejects a recommendation to dismiss a teacher.
