Teachers Say They've Been Left High And Dry After The Closure Of The Grafton College Language School
The Irish Congress of Trade Unions has called on the Education Minster to urgently assist them
While most of the STUDENTS affected have been placed with other schools - the teachers involved say they've slipped between the cracks - with no wages, and no P45's to present to social welfare.
An amendment to a bill adding employment protections for teachers made it through the Seanad this week and is now due before the Dail.
Teacher, Leon Vaughan, is among the group now campaigning under the hashtag #SupportGraftonTeachers - he says they met the Minister at Leinster House on Wednesday but were left feeling totally abandoned.
