On paper, that looks supportive; in practice, it outsources the risk to principals and teachers. bit.ly/46iwVbp

Great to see. Our secretaries and caretakers need the support of colleagues, management, school communities to bring this strike to a positive resolution. #PayParity @forsa_union_ie @Forsaschoolsecs

This is my grandmother Margaret. She has been a school secretary for 28 years. She will retire without an occupational pension. This is wrong - Pension Parity should be given to all! The Minister must act to avoid strike! @HMcEntee @Education_Ire @labour @forsa_union_ie

Our school secretaries are invaluable in our schools. They deserve all of our support.
Fórsa trade union@forsa_union_ie15 Aug 2025
Why are school secretaries & caretakers going on strike? Listen to Fórsa member Victoria Luke on Claire Byrne explain the deep injustice that has forced this action. The Dept of Public Expenditure still had time to avoid the chaos, if they do the right thing.
