Ms M?ir?n N? Ch?ileachair:

The INTO has always supported extra funding for DEIS. If extra funding and resources were put into all schools, we feel it would correspondingly happen in DEIS also. I taught in a disadvantaged area so I realise the problems that are there. SNAs are our colleagues in schools. We work with the same children during the day every day. The partnership there is really strong. I would support Fórsa's call for the same access to CPD and training. It can only improve what is happening in our classrooms if we all operate as co-professionals in that space.
