SOME 43 teachers have been suspended or put on "administrative leave" in the past 10 years over abuse claims.

The Department of Education revealed that 24 teachers have been put on administrative leave since 1995 in primary schools. ...

The figures emerged in the wake of the furore over the promotion of a primary teacher in the Tuam diocese to the position of principal.
