45. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills his views on whether the current discussions between the Association of Secondary Teachers in Ireland, ASTI, and the Workplace Relations Commission, WRC, will result in pay equality in the education sector; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I welcome the decision by ASTI last week to suspend its two industrial actions i.e. their one day strikes and their withdrawal from Supervision and Substitution duties.  I also welcome the fact that a process has started under the auspices of the Teachers Conciliation Council (TCC) aimed at finding a resolution to this dispute.
