Over 400 schools to remain closed tomorrow

Around 400 schools will stay shut tomorrow as the row between secondary teachers and the Government continues.

200,000 students were affected by a day of strike today.

With ASTI teachers withdrawing from supervision duties tomorrow many schools will again have to close.

These teachers at St Aidan's CBS in Whitehall in Dublin think the dispute will continue for a while: "“Unless the Government starts acting maturely and engaging with the process and talking to us and talking to our leadership, I don’t see an end in sight.

"It’s very sad and it’s very demoralising."

Another said: “Giving the lack of urgency in Government seems to me that they’re quite happy to let it drag on, so unfortunately I suspect it will.”
