Possible Strikes "A Long Way Off"
Minister for Education Norma Foley believes there will not be strike action in the short term by teachers:
"If they take that action, it would be for much later in the year," she said.
Adding to that, the Minister says "we'd be putting the cart before the horse," to consider anything that might happen in the future, that isn't already happening.
Norma Foley says it's a "long way off" and there's time in between.
