Teacher unions have given a cautious welcome to a statement issued yesterday by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in relation to the issue

The country's two second level teacher unions begin their annual conferences today with pay equality for newer entrants to the profession high on their agenda of both the ASTI and the TUI.

The INTO has welcomed what it says is a commitment from Government to addressing the issue of pay inequality, specifically for teachers employed between 2011 and 2014. The INTO leadership has said this represents a pathway to pay equality, and that "the finishing line is now in sight". Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, ASTI General Secretary Kieran Christie has said the union acknowledges, but is cautious of, new wording from the Department of Public Expenditure.
