More than 30,000 members of the Association of Secondary Teachers, Ireland (ASTI) and the Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI) will hold a nationwide lunchtime protest outside schools next Tuesday, 19th November in which they will seek a delay in the implementation of Senior Cycle redevelopment.
The protest follows a decision to ‘accelerate’ Senior Cycle redevelopment plans.

Geraldine O’Loughlin is the ASTI Standing Committee rep for Mayo and Leitrim.
She told Midwest News Editor Teresa O’Malley more about why the action is taking place…
