Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Select Sub-Committee on Public Expenditure and Reform: Construction Contracts Bill 2010: Committee Stage (15 May 2013)

Brian Hayes: That is a very good suggestion. The INTO, ASTI and TUI should be asked for their observations on that.

They might have something to say about that, but it is...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: School Curriculum (17 Apr 2013)

Charlie McConalogue: Unfortunately, the Minister, Deputy Quinn, has refused to engage in a meaningful way in advance of publishing his framework for the junior cycle. At the Teachers Union of Ireland, TUI, conference in Galway, the Minister mentioned that this was a personal political project. That is the wrong type of language. He should engage with teachers. According to the evidence, reforms work better...

Ruairi Quinn: There was no prior consultation with the Teachers Union of Ireland (TUI) in relation to this decision but I can advise the Deputy that I have arranged to meet the TUI this week, to discuss their concerns.
