Galway Bay fm newsroom - There's been a drop in membership of secondary teachers' union the ASTI across Galway.
The unions' branches in Tuam and East Galway have seen decreases of around 20% between 2016 and 2017.

It follows a dispute last year between the union and the government, which triggered pay losses for thousands of members.
