Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

A memo will go to the Cabinet either tomorrow or next week on SNAs. Hopefully, there will be clarity over the next few days for people. The Deputy has made a valid point that this is not the best way to do things. It would be much better if people knew where they stood before the school year ended. I anticipate this will be the last year in which it is done in this way and, in future years, people will be given much more notice than has happened in the past.
