ACCS Information Note

The Secretary,
Board of Management,
each Community and Comprehensive School.

Members of the Executive of ACCS.

Dear Secretary,

ACCS wishes to advise Boards of Management that the industrial action notified by ASTI and TUI has been suspended with immediate effect, pending consideration and ballot of members on the proposed new public service agreement. The previously notified strike action is also suspended.

In light of the suspension of the industrial action, Boards should now proceed on the basis that the normal arrangements applying to Croke Park Hours have resumed. Accordingly, the calendar of Croke Park Hours agreed with staff earlier this year for the 2026/27 school year should now resume in full.

Where the previously agreed calendar has been affected by the period of industrial action, schools should return to that agreed calendar insofar as possible. If staff wish to propose changes or rearrangements to the calendar, consensus with staff should be sought before any such changes are made.

Kind regards

Dr. Áine O'Sullivan,
General Secretary,
ACCS
