Bring back #edchatie!
Those of us in Irish education used to have a civilised hour's Mon evening discussion each week 'over there' under the aegis of the excellent Fred Boss.
This evening fire in comments with #edchatie too & let's see where we are.
And wave if you're not in this:

pls 'repost'.

Support our secretaries and caretakers as they move to take necessary strike action to access basic entitlements such as bereavement leave #speirgorm #edchatie
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.
