@ForsaScp An Taoiseach addressing Forsa Biennial Conference. He emphasised the importance of education and referenced our European leading school retention rates. This is a key strength in the future prosperity and success of the Irish workforce.
To School Secretaries & Caretakers: What a win. What a moment.
This is all yours - your campaign, your achievement. Without your determination & relentless organisation, we could never have gotten to this point.
Your pursuit of fairness & equal treatment has defined this strike
@nobbynoreen 111 all the way! Congrats on all your organising, leadership and courage! The secretaries have shown us how to do it with determination, respect and integrity.
Education Minister Helen McEntee has said the government is ready to discuss public service pensions if Fórsa, the union representing school secretaries and caretakers, comes to the table

SCP Branch is ready to stand with our colleagues as long as it takes. Pension parity is a just cause. Pension parity is the right of every worker in our schools. Our secretary and caretaker colleagues deserve fairness, respect and a swift resolution. Solidarity! #pensionparity
It was a pleasure and a privilege this morning to meet and talk with some of our incredible @forsa_union_ie school secretaries and caretakers in Newbridge.
The other school workers get it. Parents get it. The public gets it.
An update before the weekend for school secretaries and caretakers.
Please rest, stay strong, and well done after a truly historic week of strikes! #PensionParity
Dignity at work is evidenced more by actions than words. End the transactional relationship between school employers and their non-pensioned staff. People who give a lifetime of service in schools deserve to be looked after for a lifetime! #pensionparityinschools
What another major day in the campaign for #PensionParity by school secretaries and caretakers. Five huge rallies across Ireland, bringing energy, noise and power. Do you think the government is finally getting the message?
Rallies in Dublin, Athlone, Cork, Bray, and Sligo
Proud of our FORSA colleagues showing the country how to campaign for fairness, dignity and equality of treatment in schools. Solidarity matters! We stand with the striking secretaries and caretakers!
What a first day of strikes for #PensionParity.
I think everyone can agree that you all showed the government just how powerful school secretaries and caretakers are.
Rest up tonight, round two kicks off with five regional rallies around the country!
⚡️Tomorrow is the day⚡️
For the School Caretakers & Secretaries out there, a special message from two powerhouses - your Branch Chairpersons Luisa and Dave - ahead of your indefinite strike.
We'll see all you on the streets of Dublin tomorrow!
