Education Minister Norma Foley has said there is no timeline yet for when teachers may see a pay rise despite the cost of living crisis.
All three teachers’ unions - the Irish National Teachers' Organisation (INTO), Teachers’ Union of Ireland and the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland - are demanding pay increases at their annual conferences to compensate for the rising cost of living.
The INTO wants talks to begin next month to address how the current pay agreement, 'Building Momentum', can be adjusted to address the concerns of workers.
