Teachers in primary and secondary schools have been warned that they could see their salaries slashed.
Minister for Education Ruairi Quinn has reiterated the prospect of cutting wages in the education system in order to make significant savings.
He stated that unless the Croke Park Agreement is able to deliver tangible results, teachers could face salary reductions and redundancies.
