Janet Stafford asked ASTI teachers at Moyle Park College, Clondalkin

Phil Doherty: The new personnel aren't doing the same job supervising as teachers did. They are propped up by school management and don't have to deal with issues of discipline. I am outraged that qualified part-time teachers are paid less per hour for actually teaching lessons.

Maurice Hartigan: As a year head I'm paid about €10 per day for extra duties. You'll understand how valued I feel when strangers are paid €68 minimum per day for two hours' work. We still voluntarily do after-school activities, but people do not realise this. It is not valued or appreciated.

Edel Harrington: I've produced school musicals in the past, involving a lot of extra work. I voluntarily do this because it's something I'm good at and can contribute, but my goodwill is completely at an end seeing people being paid €68 a day for what might be only 15 minutes' work.

Terry Flanagan: Where is the extra money coming from to pay €350 minimum a week to each of the people doing supervision? They're paid €34 per hour, compared to €27 for fully trained part-time teachers. It highlights the lack of respect the Department has for us.

Carmel Roche: My biggest concern is for the future of education. Why would anyone train four or five years to become a teacher and get paid less than unqualified people? I don't understand what Michael Woods is doing - it seems as if he is trying to tell teachers they are worthless.

Peter Foody: I'm fed up with the industrial- action thing. I'm tired of it and I just wish it would go away. The supervisors have help from school management and a smaller student-to-supervisor ratio. The National Parents Council only speaks to criticise us, never to appreciate.
