Industrial Action by School Secretaries: Statements (2 Oct 2019)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Nothing moves in a school without the school secretary or caretaker knowing about it. The jobs they do vary enormously, from correspondence and telephone calls to welcoming guests and inputting menus for school lunches. If a child is hurt they go to the secretary. The school would grind to a complete halt without them and the caretakers. There is enormous inequality among school...

The Cork Chamber of Commerce has made a proposal. It is eminently sensible and...
