Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection
Role of Special Needs Assistants: Discussion
1:00 pm
Mr. Dessie Robinson:
Some of the questions were answered indirectly, but in response to the question about JobBridge, this year we had to complain to the Department of Social Protection that JobBridge was being abused in the schools because people were being brought in under the guise of classroom assistants when the Department of Education and Skills did not recognise that role, and the schools used those people for anything and everything. Since then, JobBridge in the education sector has been reviewed and that role has ceased.
