The Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI) will protest outside Dáil Éireann tomorrow evening (Tuesday, 26th January) from 5pm, to coincide with the expected Dáil (Report Stage) debate on the Technological Universities Bill.

The Bill, which has major implications for the Institute of Technology sector, is being rushed through the enactment process with reckless haste and without the provision of adequate opportunity for the deep and considered engagement and debate that is required.

The Bill contains significant threats to the Institute of Technology sector.

A ballot of members which will seek a mandate for industrial action up to and including strike action over the issue will take place in February. In addition, the union has withdrawn from all merger talks.
