Annual teacher conferences next week: What can we expect?

Next week, the annual conferences of the TUI and the INTO will be taking place in Killarney, while the ASTI annual convention will be taking place in Wexford. On the agendas for each conference are issues affecting teachers up and down the country, from salaries and allowances to conditions of work and school resourcing. Joining Pat to discuss what will be coming up over the next week and what could and should be discussed is Brian Mooney, Guidance counsellor and columnist with the Irish Times.
