Sir, - The Minister for Education says teachers' salaries will be docked the week before Christmas. I began a new job as a teacher this year, and found that it took his Department some two months to figure out I existed, and a further month to get as far as paying me. If they can get organised to dock my salary in as little as six weeks, I'll be most impressed. - Yours, etc.,
John Hogan, Salthill, Galway.
