About

The Retired Teachers’ Association of Ireland (RTAI) is a vibrant and energetic fellowship of retired primary teachers. Founded in Dublin in the early 50’s it has grown to over 10,000 members organised in 32 branches throughout the 26 counties.
There are two key aspects to the work of the Association. Firstly, at national level there is a strong focus on looking after the interests of retired teachers in relation to pensions and other issues that impact on their welfare and wellbeing. Providing advice and services to individual members is central to this aspect of our work.

The RTAI works closely with other kindred organisations and in particular values its relationship with the INTO.

Objectives of the RTAI

The objectives for which the Retired Teacher’s Association of Ireland is established are as follows:

To unite and organise the retired primary school teachers of Ireland and to provide a means for the expression of their collective opinion on matters affecting their interests as retired teachers.

• To afford advice to individual members on matters relevant to their status as retired teachers.

• To safeguard and improve the conditions of retired teachers.

• To promote cooperation and fraternal links at national and local level with the INTO.

• To promote, organise and arrange social and educational events for members of the Association.

• To promote co-operation and fraternal links at national and local level with kindred associations and organisations.

• To assist charitable causes and appeals through the association’s Solidarity Fund as set out in the Rules.
