The Teachers Conciliation Council is the recognised forum for dealing with matters relating to pay and conditions of service of teachers. The parties to the forum include representatives of the managerial authorities of schools, the teacher unions and the Departments of Education and Science and Finance. Discussions in relation to the matter raised by the Deputy are due to commence shortly under the auspices of the Teachers Conciliation Council. As the proceedings of the Conciliation Council are confidential it would not be appropriate for me to make any further comment at this time.
