An increased pay offer has been made to further education lecturers in Northern Ireland.
It comes after a previous offer of a 5% increase and a non-consolidated payment of £1,500 was condemned by the University and College Union (UCU) as insulting when compared with the 10% increase offered to school teachers.

Stormont Economy Minister Conor Murphy said: “Further education lecturers are vital to providing the skills that grow our economy.
“I am therefore pleased to facilitate this pay offer as a first step towards parity with teachers.”
