This situation has been ongoing for the last few years. This is <b>not</b> why I voted for the 'McCrone' agreement. With the agreement, NQTs could 'free-up' time for other staff to take secondments, but that seems to have fallen by the way-side too. NQTs appear to be replacing (potentially permanent) staff (for a year). This was not my understanding of the agreement; from my own perspective. It's a difficult one, but I really feel for the many new teachers out there who are so keen to embrace a full time job, yet they are now faced with <b>'General Supply Work'</b> until they are permanently appointed. I guess it all boils down to cash at the end of the day :( I don’t know what to say hear Fearghal. This situation has been ongoing for the last few years.
