Parents unsure of return date to ASTI secondary school

Several Secondary schools across Cork have issued letters to parents indicating they should not send their children back to school after the mid term.

The Letter outlined the impact of the withdrawal of essential supervision and substitution duties across the school day by ASTI members.

The affected schools advised parents they would not be able to ensure the safety of the pupils in its care because of this directive.
