I thank the Chair. Apologies, I was late. I was caught up, both in traffic and in something else in the Dáil, but I have read their opening statements and I understand and appreciate the importance of ensuring workers rights are protected and that they are on a par, North and South, as they were when the EU had jurisdiction over the whole island.

In relation to teaching, and I apologise if I ask a question that has already been asked by someone, the INTO represents primary school teachers, here in the South and in the North. Is there any other union in the North that also represents primary teachers or is the INTO the singular union for the whole country?
