‹ An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business SNA allocation changes
Summary
Deputy Murphy called for an urgent debate on changes to special needs assistant allocation, saying schools and families had not been consulted.
What we need to debate is the changing allocation of SNAs. I have been inundated by SNAs, parents and teachers who say the model of allocation is being introduced without any process of consultation, and it will have a damaging impact on children with special needs, meaning they do not get the support they need. We need to debate it this week.
