TEACHERS’ Union of Ireland (TUI) members will protest against pay inequality outside Kerry ETB post-primary schools, FET Centres, colleges of further education and Institutes of Technology in which they work during lunchtime this Thursday, May 24.
Service to students will not be affected by the protest. The TUI say they are holding the protest to highlight continuing damage caused by pay discrimination.
Teachers and lecturers who entered the system since 2011 are on a lower rate of pay than their colleagues for carrying out the same work.
The say the pay inequality has led to a crisis in the recruitment and retention of teachers and lecturers and impairs the quality of service to students.
In a March 2018 survey of post-2011 entrants to teaching, 46% said it was currently unlikely or very unlikely that they’d still be in the profession in ten years’ time. If pay equality was to be fully restored, 94% said it was likely or very likely that they would remain in the profession.
They TUI says the only guaranteed way of ensuring the retention of teachers and lecturers and the recruitment of those needed for the future is to repair the professional integrity of teaching by restoring pay equality.
A PROTEST has been organised for Friday to support the victims of the CervicalCheck scandal.
The organisers have chosen the HSE’s buildings in Rathass, close to the entrance to University Hospital Kerry, as the venue for the gathering which gets underway at 3.30pm.
It will be a peaceful demonstration in honour of all those affected by the failure of the HSE to inform women of negative smear tests. All are welcome to attend.
A PROTEST rally is to take place tomorrow (Saturday) in Tralee about the housing crisis in Ireland.
The ‘Housing is a Human Right’ protest, organised by the National Homeless and Housing Coalition, will see people gather at The Horan Centre at 1pm followed by a march to The Square.
Speakers at The Square will include Bridget Quilligan (Kerry Travelers Health and Community Development Project), Robert Carey (Supporting those dealing with reposession issues) among others.
The National Homeless and Housing Coalition demands are:
1. Declare the housing and homelessness crisis an emergency.
2. Provide a minimum of 10,000 units per year. No to privatisation – Build public houses on public land.
3. Make housing a Constitutional right.
4. End evictions, bank repossessions and sell off to vulture funds.
5. Legislate for real security of tenure, real rent control and affordable rents.
6. End B&B and hotel emergency accommodation. Improve Emergency accommodation facilities and security for all in need.
This protest is being organised in support of the National Homeless and Housing Coalition march which takes place from 1pm at the Garden of Remembrance, Parnell Square, Dublin on April 7.
THIS Wednesday lecturers who are members of the Teaching Union of Ireland (TUI) will protest outside the North Campus of IT Tralee this Wednesday lunchtime from 1pm to 2pm.
They TUI say they are holding the protest to highlight ongoing lack of funding of the sector.
Protest will take place at the 14 Institutes of Technologies (IoTs) across the country while representatives will also protest outside the offices of the Higher Education Authority and Leinster House in Dublin.
They say the underfunding has continued through 2017 despite a financial review of IoTs in 2016 showing that 10 out of 14 Institutes were running annual deficits and that the sector required an immediate injection of funding.
A statement from the TUI in Tralee said since 2008 public funding to IoTs nationally has been cut by 35%, while lecturing staff have been reduced by 9.5% and student numbers have increased by 32%.
During this time student contributions have increased with Irish students now paying an annual €3000 student contribution fee to attend a third level college or university.
They say the lack of funding has resulted in a lack of investment in essential equipment, maintenance, supports and lecturing staff. Like many other IoTs, Tralee has been meeting its annual deficits in budget by using its reserves.
Also like other Institutes, Tralee is running low on revenue reserves and last year the college had to submit a three year plan to show the Higher Education Authority (HEA) how it would return to producing a surplus.
One of the first measures introduced was a 5% reduction in academic staff this September with a further 5% planned over the next three years.
IT Tralee TUI branch submitted an emergency motion to the TUI congress in April this year calling on the union to undertake a campaign to oppose the ongoing cuts and to demand increased funding of the sector.
Chair of the Tralee branch Ursula Barrett said “lecturing staff of the Institute are standing up for the colleagues who have lost jobs due to cuts, for the students who deserve to receive an education with up to date equipment and quality supports and for the community who we link with to provide services”.
The Union of Students in Ireland is also planning to protest against cuts to public funding of third level education and Tralee students union will be attending a national protest march in Dublin on October 4th.
The students will be out supporting staff for the local protest this Wednesday as both staff and students want to bring attention to this issue locally as well as nationally.
According to Ursula Barrett; “The Institute is an important asset to the county and unless it receives the funding necessary to deliver a quality education to its students its future is in serious jeopardy, the HEA needs to stop delaying action with reports and reviews and start reinvesting in the education of our students”.
.Toireasa Ferris wants the Council to consider bringing back its waste collection services.
KERRY Sinn Féin members will hold a short protest outside County Buildings at Rathass in Tralee on Wednesday, July 5 at 1.15pm.
Speaking today Councillor Toireasa Ferris has invited members of the public to attend and she said; “We are holding this protest tomorrow to highlight once again all that is wrong with waste collection in this country and in support of the Sinn Féin motion in the Dáil which seeks to block the implementation of the new charging regime. The town councils and Kerry County Council had very progressive waiver schemes which protected elderly and low income families.
Continued below…
.
“Our motion calls for a study of the feasibility of the re-municipalisation of waste services. We want to see if it is possible to bring waste services back under local authority control.
At the time that bin services were privatised by Fianna Fáil, Sinn Féin warned that price increases would result and it would be the least well off that would be hardest hit. Unfortunately we were ignored and our concerns are now being borne out,” she added.
.Protesters taking part in a demonstration against cuts to mental health services.
A NUMBER of demonstrators lined up outside the entrance to University Hospital Kerry on Friday afternoon to protest at €12 million goverment cuts to mental health services.
“To cut €12,000,000 off a budget for services that already can’t cope defies belief really,” said one of the demonstration’s organisers, Ger Collins.
“The staff who work in the psychiatric services alone in this hospital [University Hospital Kerry] are under enormous pressure. We won’t tolerate it and we’re going to make a stand and people all over the country will make a stand,” he said.
The demonstration was organised on Facebook by Ger Collins – who has experience working in social care – and Shauna Enright, a third year mental health student who feels passionately about the issue.

“The goverment are sending out a very poor message to people who are suffering with mental health illnesses and people who work in the sector,” said Ger Collins.
Demonstrating with members of the public were county councillors, Michael Gleeson, Toireasa Ferris and Norma Foley, Cormac Williams of the Psychiatric Nurses Union, organiser of Darkness Into Light Tralee, Colin Aherne, members of IT Tralee student union and others.
A Kerry Rose sash is not a regular sight at a demonstration, but current holder of that title, Julett Culloty, was also on hand to lend her support.
“It’s really something the goverment need to address at this stage because mental health needs investment rather than it being taken away,” said Julett, who herself is a social care worker.
“We all know people who have suffered from mental health problems and depression,” she said. “I think it’s one of those areas that doesn’t get enough support behind it. I know over the last few years people are beginning to talk about it more, but I think it needs all the attention it can,” she added. Scroll down for photos…

HUNDREDS took to the streets of Tralee for an anti-water charges protest yesterday.
After the huge numbers marched in Dublin last weekend, the local protest was organised by Right2Water Kerry and they came from all over the county to again voice their opposition to Irish Water.
The march was organised to mark the arrival of the first bills from Irish Water which will be issued from April 1.
Organisers estimate a crowd of around 400 made the march from the Horan Centre to The Square where various speakers encouraged people not to pay the bills.
Michael O’Gorman of Right2Water Kerry said everyone should boycott the bills and Irish Water.
“Do not engage with Irish Water in any sense,” he told the crowd in The Square. “If they phone you, ignore them. If they write letters to you, ignore them. Come Christmas, if we all ignore Irish Water, they’ll be dead and gone,” continued Mr O’Gorman.
Scroll down to see a video of the numbers at the protest and also photos below…

Anti-Eviction Taskforce protesors outside Tralee Courthouse on Thursday. Photo by Oscar Brophy
IF you were passing the courthouse on Thursday you may have seen people carrying a banner on the steps.
It was part of a protest by a Kerry group, called the ‘Anti-Eviction Taskforce’, against the repossession of people’s homes across the country.
Barry McCarthy of the Anti-Eviction Taskforce, told TraleeToday.ie that in February alone, “there were 3,006 repossession hearings in the country. From March 1 to March 19 there was 850 hearings in Munster alone. It’s an epidemic, a land grab of the highest order.”
“I believe it’s probably illegal anyway, the massive amount [of repossessions] they’re doing,” said Tom O’Donovan of the group.
He suggested a solution to the problem – “In Ireland we have a tradition that no one would buy a repossesed home or farm. If no one buys them said then what reason would the banks have to reposses them?”
Alternatively, he said that,”the Registrar suggested that maybe the county council could buy the houses from the banks at a reduced rate. Then let the people live in them and pay rent to the council.”

PROTESTERS on the march against water charges vowed that they would not shout abuse at any Minister or the President when he visits Tralee later this month.
The comment was made by Phil Horgan of Right2Water Tralee in The Square, after a group – numbering around 400 people according to organisers – marched there from the Brandon Car Park.
It was one of many protests held nationwide to mark the deadline for registration with Irish Water on Monday.
Continued below…
Mr Horgan said any protest he takes part in, when Ministers are present, will be a peaceful one, but they’ll “know he was there”.
His comments were echoed by Deputy Michael Healy Rae (Ind), who also spoke and said Kerry people would not resort to abuse like the minority of protesters in Dublin who abused President Higgins over a week ago.
Deputies Tom Fleming (Ind) and Martin Ferris (Sinn Fein) were among the others who spoke in The Square on Saturday, reiterating their opposition to the water charges.

WITH the deadline day to sign up for water charges on Monday, the Right2Water group have scheduled a protest march in Tralee this Saturday.
The marchers will assemble on in the Brandon car park at 12 noon.
The latest march is part of national day of action against the introduction of water charges. Hundreds of other marches are expected to take place throughout the country, including one in Listowel.
In November, over 3,000 people took part in the anti-water charges march in town, the last time a nationwide demonstration was called.
In December, tens of thousands of protesters marched in Dublin to show their opposition to the government’s policy.

TEACHERS of Tralee’s secondary schools joined 27,000 other educators across the country on strike yesterday because of plans to reform the Junior Cert cycle.
The teachers unions, ASTI and TUI are unhappy with plans to make their teachers assess 40% of the work of their own students.
Continued below…
Thursday’s industrial action followed a similar work stoppage in December.
Teachers from five secondary schools in Tralee were on the picket line on Thursday and TraleeToday.ie asked them their views on the strike action.
“It’s getting a little bit frustrating,” said CBS The Green teacher, Fionán Fitzgerald, speaking on the picket line. “We’d all rather be inside our classroom doing our daily work, helping our students prepare for state examinations,” he said.
Continued below…
“The key problem is that state examinations should be fair and they should be impartial. To put teachers in a situation where they’re correcting their own students’ examinations is just simply not on,” said Fionán.
“We’re on strike – not because of money, not for a pay cheque, not for pay rises or anything like that. It’s purely for the standard of education that we’ve experienced and we want to see our own students getting in the future,” he said.
Speaking to teachers in Mercy Mounthawk, they are very much united in their views on reform of state examinations.
“We’re frustrated. We’d prefer to be back in the classroom teaching. This issue needs to be resolved with the union and Department of Education,” said Norah Quane.

SECONDARY school teachers are preparing to take to the picket lines again this Thursday.
Teachers from the ASTI and TUI will take part in the second one day strike in protest over aspects of the framework for Junior Cycle proposals.
Thousands of students stayed at home on Tuesday, December 2, as schools around the country closed for the strike action.
Continued below…
Leonard O’Donnell, TUI Co. Kerry Branch Chairperson, explained why the teachers were protesting.
‘We remain resolute in our opposition to significant elements of the Junior Cycle proposals, and the overwhelming support for our position from the public during last month’s strike day was greatly encouraging,” he said.
“Teachers will always support positive, fully resourced change that guarantees improvement, but we are gravely concerned by the potential for damage posed by the proposals,” he said.
Mr O’Donnell said teachers support a first class Junior Cycle for all students, including a move away from a reliance on final written examinations and the promotion of different types of assessment, including more practical, project and portfolio work.
“However, we believe that the introduction of school-based assessment for certification purposes would seriously compromise the credibility and transparency of the examinations process. It would also significantly change the relationship between teacher and student,” he said.
Mr O’Donnell said there are also concerns about the capacity at system and school level to accommodate the changes proposed.
“Parents will be only too aware of the damage that several years of austerity cutbacks have inflicted on schools. Class sizes have increased and the school support system has been dismantled with deep cuts to guidance counselling provision and the loss of vital positions such as year head,” he continued.
“In taking further strike action on Thursday, we are seeking to protect national education standards, equity and fairness,” he said.

ABOUT 40 people gathered outside AIB in Castle Street on Saturday to highlight the 65 repossession cases which came before a Tralee court this week.
“When you have 65 orders coming on the one day in Tralee it’s quite stark and frightening, so that’s why we’re here to highlight it,” said Sinn Fein Deputy Martin Ferris who said the repossession orders came from various banks, not just AIB.
“The so-called recovery has not come to Kerry. I wish it was different. Having said that, there probably will be a bit more spending power this year because of consumer confidence, but when you have 65 repossession orders in Tralee – and that’s probably duplicated all over the country – it’s a sign of where things are going,” he said.
“It’s worrying for families coming up to Christmas. We, the taxpayer, paid billions to bail out banks and now they’re evicting people. It’s wrong,” he added.
Mr Ferris also commended St Vincent de Paul who are helping out many families who are struggling and in financial difficulty around this time.
“St Vince have done fantastic work down the years and the wider community really appreciate the work they are doing especially this year because more and more people are going to them,” he said.

KERRY Sinn Féin TD Martin Ferris will lead a protest outside banks in Tralee tomorrow.
Sinn Féin say the protest is “to highlight the government’s continuing failure to deal with mortgage debt crisis and the banks aggressive behaviour towards those in mortgage distress.”
This week saw financial institutions take 65 repossession cases against people in Kerry at the Circuit Court in Tralee.
“It is clear to see that this government is content to let the mortgage crisis unwind at the pace of the banks’ choosing,” said Deputy Ferris. “Their actions, or lack of, have shown that their priorities lie with the banks rather than struggling families who have found themselves at risk of having their home repossessed. This week in Tralee we had 65 repossession cases brought by various banks at the Circuit Court.”
“Last April Sinn Féin brought forward the Land and Conveyancing Reform (Amendment) Bill 2013 which would have substantially enhanced legal protections for pressurised mortgage holders and make it harder for the banks to repossess homes. Our bill would have put in place a realistic and solid legal protection from repossession for struggling homeowners who are making a real effort to repay their mortgage. Unfortunately Fine Gael and Labour refused to support our Bill,” said Deputy Ferris.
“It is time to start protecting families at risk of homelessness and it is high time that the government began that process,” he said.
Tomorrow’s protest will start at 1pm outside the AIB on Castle Street.

SINN Fein Deputy Martin Ferris says he will suffer any consequences, including prison, rather than pay a cent to Irish Water.
The Kerry North/West Limerick politician was speaking in the Square after the protest march in Tralee in which over 3,000 people took part in appalling weather conditions.
The protest began in the Horan Centre and made its way through town, up Ashe Street and across North Circular Road, down Rock Street and through Bridge Street to the Square.
Continued below…
“On probably the worst day of the year, we’d estimate about 4,000 people showed up there today,” said Sinn Fein Cllr Pa Daly after the march.
“It reflects the anger that’s out there. People have put up without marching when the property tax came in, when wages were cut etc. but we’re coming to the tipping point now. This is the final straw. People are saying no more, we don’t want any more charges,” he said.

“There’s something in the air now. The Government are running scared, they’re on the ropes,” said Cllr Daly.
Martin Ferris thanked people for coming out in the rain and pledged he would rather go to jail than pay the charges.
See him speak in the video below which shows the sheer scale of the march.
First of all we filmed in Castle Street, then from the Courthouse, then from upstairs in The Brogue Inn, where you can see the sea of umbrellas all the way up Rock Street. Finally watch Deputy Ferris make his pledge…
SATURDAY last saw another gathering of people in the Square to protest against the violence in Gaza following a fresh wave of bombings at the weekend.
About 100 or so took part in the Sinn Fein-organised demonstration which marched through the town.
“We’ll be out here as long as we have to put pressure on our international leaders to do something about the genocide that is happening in Gaza,” said Cllr Toireasa Ferris.
“The Irish government has been a disgrace, more so Labour as part of that government, who have been verbally supportive of the Palestine people down the years, but in practical terms have done nothing,” said TD Martin Ferris.
“The response from Tralee people has been fantastic,” said Dr Rizwan Khan of the Kerry Islamic Outreach Society. “Not just with what is happening in Gaza, but also with the response we have got since we opened our doors last year, we can not be more appreciative.”
In the short video below, Cllr Toireasa Ferris encourages people to boycott Israeli goods followed by footage of the march and photos below…
