Yowsa.
I tracked down one of the sources for my "many teachers get more than a hundred grand a year" remark.
It is an article from the year 2012 in the Irish Examiner, still available online.
The article is headlined "1500 teachers earn up to 115,000 per year."
Since this was written eight years ago in 2012, I think the figure is unlikely to be lower now.
The article contains the assertion that one in three primary school teachers receive more than 61,000 per year.
A lot of online information on teachers' salaries is provided by teachers' unions and is deceptive.
I think the figures on the Examiner website are substantially correct and hint at the scope of over payment in Irish schools.
The real figures will be much higher.
None of this is of course as serious as the Health Services Executive performing sex change transitioning chemical treatments on children aged five.
