Fresh concern is being expressed in Clare that a failure to improve working conditions will lead to a shortage in qualified teachers.
It follows a survey carried out by the ASTI which reveals that job satisfaction among its members has dropped by over a quarter in the past nine years.
It found that just 51 percent of secondary teachers are either satisfied or very satisfied with their jobs, compared with 77 percent in 2009.

Clare ASTI representative and St Flannan’s College, Ennis teacher Peter Quinn says it means students won’t be choosing to go down that career path.
