John Halligan (Waterford, Independent)

I am reasonably satisfied with the Minister's answer and I trust he will do what needs to be done. From my conversations with other Deputies and people from my constituency, it appears there is staggering inconsistency in the appeals process. The parents perceive the process as not being independent. I welcome that the Minister may consider the matter over a period of six months but I ask him to give a commitment to fill all the available SNA posts.
