ASTI Head criticises heckling of Education Minister

Ruairi Quinn was repeatedly heckled, jeered, booed and laughed at during his speech at the ASTI conference in Co Wexford yesterday.

Pat King says the actions – by what he says was a minority of the delegates – were disrespectful and can't be condoned.

He used his address to the ASTI conference this morning to hit out at what he says amounted to abuse.
