Junior Education Minister Sean Haughey s expressing has expressed disappointment at strike threats by Ireland's three main teaching unions. The ASTI, TUI and INTO, which represent 60,000 teachers, have voted in favour of industrial action over the controversial pension levy being imposed on all public-sector workers.

They say the action will go ahead unless the Government re-engages with the trade union movement to devise a fair and equitable response to the economic crisis. Mr Haughey says the Government wants to work with teachers to resolve any difficulties and will engage with the unions to prevent strike action.
