Teachers are being forced to move out of Dublin because of the high cost of living.
That's according to the teaching union ASTI, which says it’s becoming a problem for Dublin schools.
The departures are adding to an already existing shortage of staff in acute subjects.
Deputy General Secretary of the ASTI, Diarmuid de Paor, says rent and mortgage costs are forcing teachers out of jobs:
"This is all based on the fact that there is a basic shortage of teachers nationally anyway. And the cost of living crisis in Dublin and particularly rent and mortgage prices in Dublin are leading teachers to seek jobs elsewhere. And they're now in a market where they will find jobs elsewhere".
