A teacher who repeatedly made false declarations about his teaching qualifications in job applications to Cork Education and Training Board has been struck off the Register of Teachers. The chairperson of the inquiry, Adrian Guinan, said the conduct of Mr Clancy was “manifestly dishonest". The inquiry panel determined that Mr Clancy had also breached the Code of Professional Conduct for Teachers. “The impact of what he was attempting to do was very serious for the public and students,” said Mr Guinan. He said Mr Clancy had demonstrated no insight into his conduct and there were no mitigating factors in his favour.
