Tánaiste and new Education Minister Mary Coughlan has warned national school teachers that the sector will not be immune from further cuts.

Mary Coughlan made the remark during her address at the Irish National Teachers Organisation conference in Galway this morning.

Dozens of delegates held posters saying "Stop Blaming Public Servants" during the Minister's speech, while retired principal Maura Harrington stood in protest beside Mary Coughlan during her address.

However the Tánaiste admits more adjustments are needed to help resolve the economic crisis.
