Jerry Buttimer: ...chairman, Ann Marie Lillis, for the work it has been doing. That group demonstrated, long before it was popular or acceptable, and served as the voice for the LGBT community within our education system, along with the ASTI and the TUI. We are near completion on this. I understand the difficulties that the Minister of State spoke about earlier. It would be wrong of us to get to the...

Our agreement was set out in our joint document "Junior Cycle Reform: Joint Statement on Principles and Implementation" published on the 22nd of May 2015.

Seanad: Springboard Programme: Motion (27 May 2015)

Gerard Craughwell: ...then, was to develop a course in cloud computing in association with VMware, the intention being that I would deliver the course myself. Unfortunately, the course died when I was elected president of the TUI. Nobody would take it up because continuing professional development was required. We have to fund the teachers in further education. Springboard is great if one has a third level...

Other Questions: State Examinations (22 Apr 2015)

Jan O'Sullivan: Therefore, I do not propose to take up the Deputy's suggestion. Obviously, I have had discussions with union leaders in various situations, including at the TUI conference, although obviously not with the other union in that situation. I hope we will be able to sit down together in the very near future. I believe the veto is currently on the side of the teaching unions, rather than on my side.

Seanad: Order of Business (10 Mar 2015)

Marc MacSharry: ...ensure the status of the lecturers is equal to that of those lecturing within NUI Galway.While the authorities in NUI Galway have not done so to date, and they do not recognise the status of the TUI, I appeal to the Minister, through the Leader, to direct them to engage with the organised labour movement in the form of the TUI because not to do is to strip the lecturing staff of the...

Teaching Council (Amendment) Bill 2015: Second Stage (18 Feb 2015) See 1 other result from this debate

Ruth Coppinger: ...as that person is going to be disciplined and may lose his or her job. This seems to feeding into an anti-teacher sentiment which the Government wishes to increase right now, as it is taking on the ASTI and the TUI, which through major strikes are defending their right not to give State accreditation to their own students. It seems to be quite convenient that the Minister is bringing...

Michael Moynihan: ...the Minister for her reply. This is an issue of concern to staff. Everyone needs to be brought on board with regard to mergers. I respectfully ask the Minister as a matter of urgency to meet the TUI who represent the staff at both institutes and to hear their concerns. Nobody wants this matter to go to industrial relations. There needs to be face-to-face meetings. I have asked the...

John Halligan: .... They also made the point that the goalposts for university designation have kept changing over the years, depending on what political wind has been blowing. My information is Mr. Kelly told the TUI and Waterford IT that the institute being allowed to stand alone was not envisaged by the Department of Education and Skills. Over recent years, I have spoken about this to a number of...

Order of Business (22 Jan 2015)

Finian McGrath: ...the integrity of the junior certificate? We need outside, independent assessment and professionalism, and, above all, we need confidence in the process. I support the Teachers' Union of Ireland, TUI, and the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland, ASTI members who are on the picket line today. They deserve our support. They are standing up for education, pupils, teachers and this...

Seanad: Order of Business (22 Jan 2015)

Terry Leyden: ...I commend Senator MacSharry on his clear and concise speech, which I hope gets widespread media coverage. He spoke an awful lot of truth, particularly about the euro. I appeal to the ASTI, the TUI and the Minister to come together. It is outrageous that on a day in 2015 as many as 350,000 students are not at school and that 27,000 teachers feel so strongly about the issue that they...

Joanna Tuffy: ...out of education and not doing the leaving certificate were the people who were being failed by the junior certificate most of all. If one listens to the debate involving leaders of the ASTI and the TUI, they argued that it is the other 80% who matter in the context of grades and so forth. This system is failing the people who do not do the leaving certificate and it is them about whom...

Seanad: Improving the Quality of Early Years Education: Statements (21 Jan 2015)

Jim D'Arcy: ...alleviate the worries of the teachers and organisations involved. I have spoken to many teachers around the country and they agree with me that she has been more than facilitating. I call on the ASTI and TUI to move forward in a spirit of working together and for the benefit of all our children. The Minister mentioned that we may shortly have an inspectorate to examine the work of...

Junior Cycle Reform: Motion [Private Members] (20 Jan 2015)

Brian Stanley: ...problems and skew the outcome, leading to a situation similar to that we have currently, where the Government is in confrontation with the two teacher unions at secondary level, the ASTI and the TUI. The spin in regard to the proposed changes is that they are part of improving the education system and making it more student friendly. However, I suspect more basic reasons lie behind...

Written Answers — Department of Education and Skills: School Guidance Counsellors (17 Dec 2014)

Michael Kitt: 222. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if she has received evidence from the Institute of Guidance Councillors, ESRI, ASTI, TUI and JMB on the impact of the cutbacks in guidance counselling; the numbers and percentage reduction in times for one-to-one counselling; if there are figures for non-guidance staff carrying out guidance counselling functions in schools; and if she will...

Vote 26 - Education and Skills (Supplementary) (10 Dec 2014)

Jan O'Sullivan: ...representatives. I appreciate this broad support from education partners. I also thank various committee members for their supportive comments. It is deeply disappointing that, in response to this generous and significant proposal, the response of both the ASTI and the TUI has been to embark on strike action. The main point at issue at this stage is school-based assessment....
