Tara Ní Mhóráin (29), a secondary school teacher, works a part-time job in order to make ends meet. All are on lower pay scales which were introduced in 2011 to cut public spending. “It’s something which is completely foreign for older teachers,” Ní Mhóráin says. My other teaching friends work in shops, babysitting or administration during the evenings or weekends. Ní Mhóráin says she loves her job and does not want to be on strike on Tuesday.
