I have received dozens of emails from parents, teachers, SNAs and principals in my constituency of Kildare South. They are all complaining about the new guidelines relating to the SNA review process. As matters stand, they are given a very limited window to apply for the review, which, understandably, is unsatisfactory for people. That is why I am getting all these emails. We know needs can arise throughout the year. Why has the decision been taken not to have a midyear review or receive applications year-round?
