Furious teachers are likely to ballot for industrial action unless the Government reverses the decision to push them down the vaccine list.
Last week’s decision has catapulted vaccinations onto the agendas of the annual conferences of the three teacher unions, which start tomorrow.
It guarantees an angry reception for Education Minister Norma Foley at her first Easter conventions.
Leaders of the Irish National Teachers’ Organisation (INTO), the Association of Secondary Teachers’ Ireland (ASTI) and Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI) are preparing motions for discussion.
The unions may agree a common motion, or they may opt to debate different motions, but ultimately, the conferences are likely to seek support for ballots for some form of industrial action.
