THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE of the Teachers Union of Ireland (TUI) has recommended to its almost 20,000 members that it shouldn’t accept the Government’s proposed new public-service agreement.
This is the first public service agreement that has offered pay increases in over ten years.
Minister for Public Expenditure Michael McGrath published the details of the draft deal this afternoon. The proposed agreement will cost €906m over three budgetary years.

The Government, for its part, would inevitably need an affordable deal, particularly given the parlous state of the Exchequer finances due to Covid-19 and Brexit.
It wanted to copper-fasten reforms, particularly those fast-tracked to tackle the coronavirus challenge.
When fully implemented in 2023, it will add €900m a year to the public sector bill.
