There are so many levels to this.

Fujitsu continue to get contracts with government. Fujitsu have ties with the government.

Government say they have been championing the PO workers cause for years and there's no evidence of it.

There is now a case of fraud against the PO. They recouped money from people that was basically akin to theft as they weren't owed it.

To top it off the tories made it nigh on impossible to get compensation for wrongful prosecution so very few here will get anything.

Gillian Mc Keegans ( Secretary of State for Education) in Westminster is married to the CEO of...... Fujitsu!

Diary of a Wimpy kid - Christmas edition ( disney+ )- to be avoided as it reveals the secret of santa, for older children

The EA is a complete shambles. They are understaffed, people leaving in droves, the admin of SEN is a disgrace. The amalgamation into one provincial body was poorly planned , ( saved very little money!) and has no leadership!

Just heard Seán Kelly lost out at last nights convention - a massive blunder  by antrim Gaa. Can't understand how clubs made that decision.

Hearing a mix up in the voting and confusion
Sean should have been asking for the count to be done again

Sean was going for 1 of 2 Ulster Council delegates. There was no mix up,but a balls up. Collie Donnelly got 47 1st preference votes and deemed elected without reaching the quota by the administrator! There was a run off for post 2 between Sean & Kieran. Kieran won comfortably enough. The proper procedures weren't followed but the floor accepted the initial decision!
Disappointing to lose Sean.

Football league restructuring deferred to January with County Committee to determine the outcome for 2024

[Teachers will leave the jobs]

Teachers will leave the jobs. Kids will ultimately suffer the consequences and all those people who see the schools as free childminding will be up in arms.

They will and there will be a queue waiting to fill their place.

Any teacher with an ounce of sense is outta here.

Aye but you could say that about a lot of occupations over the last 40 years. Loads left but more stayed. The ones that will leave will be newly qualified teachers who can't get a permanent job or even decent subbing as the Heads are employing their retired mates.

In some circumstances a school can only get a 'retiree' to sub. Most young teachers are booked in or moved to another country.
School finances are buggered.
EA have a £200 million funding gap...£60 million belongs to schools in deficit.
School budgets would need to increase by approx. £400 - £500 per  pupil to break even.
It's alarming ..how much of a shitshow, school finances have become !

How many years to you are top of your scale, was one of the teaching pay deals a couple of years ago not that you got to about £38k in 7/8 years ?

It takes 11 years to get to Upper Scale 3

Galway played very well in 2nd half , deserved winners

Difficult to find someone to commit for a year. Possibly a Sports Studies/ GAA- UU placement student for  experience etc

Rec.4
Over the past years a significant number of Minor games have been scheduled
for Sunday mornings.
O Donnells would recommend that the County Board examines the opportunity
of scheduling Tuesday or Thursday midweek for minor games as when the
season starts their college games will be over.
