TWO Limerick teachers were given top marks by the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI) for their years of dedicated service to their fellow educators.
Mary Hussey-Shee, a former teacher at Limerick’s Coláiste Nano Nagle, and Mark O’Sullivan, who taught at Laurel Hill Secondary School, were presented by ASTI President-elect Geraldine O’Brien with the PJ Kennedy Award at a ceremony held in Dublin’s Gresham Hotel.
The PJ Kennedy award is presented to ASTI members who have provided valuable service to the union at a local branch level.
Ms Hussey-Shee and Mr O’Sullivan are both members of the union’s Limerick South branch, and were awarded for “helping teachers in their area to ensure their voice was heard at a local and national level, both within the ASTI and in the wider world of education,” an ASTI spokeswoman said.
