Sinn Féin MLA Pat Sheehan has welcomed the announcement from teaching unions today accepting a recent pay offer.
The party’s education spokesperson said:
“I welcome the announcement that teaching unions have accepted the recent pay offer from the Department of Education.
“Our teachers, like all our public sector workers, deserve fair pay and conditions, and this offer represents significant progress in delivering this.
“I also want to commend the finance minister who worked at speed to prioritise public sector pay.
“The education minister must now prioritise delivering fair pay and conditions to our hardworking support staff across our education system.”
