The claim was made at an inquiry by the Teaching Council into the conduct of a male teacher in his mid-20s who is accused of seven counts of professional misconduct and breaching the Code of Professional Conduct for Teachers. The council’s disciplinary committee ruled that the teacher, school and parties involved in the case cannot be identified. The inquiry heard the teacher worked as a student teacher and subsequently a substitute teacher at the school between September and December 2019. The inquiry heard that some parents had complained to the school about the teacher who advised them to contact gardaí, Tusla and the Teaching Council. The teacher explained that he had kept the fact that he was facing a Teaching Council inquiry a secret from all but one member of his family.
