Teachers union accuse Ruairí Quinn of opening new pay talks through the media

Item thumb

A secondary teachers union's accused the Education Minister of opening talks on a second Croke Park deal through the media.

It's after Ruairí Quinn told the Sunday Times he wants negotiations for a second agreement to begin in the Autumn.

The deal, which protects pay levels and increments and doesn't allow compulsory redundancies, has been criticised by - among others, Transport Minister Leo Varadkar.

Diarmuid de Paor is the Association of Secondary Teachers in Ireland General Secretary - he says teachers have given up enough already.
