In Dunmanway in west Cork, a little girl with severe learning difficulties was accepted to her local national school. That was great. Unfortunately, though, her backup services are not great. Before she started in the school, it had four special needs assistants, SNAs. There are still four even though she needs her own SNA. She must share them with the children who were already in the school. What is happening is difficult to see in this day and age. She has little support. This situation is also impinging on the other students in the school who need SNAs. I can send the Minister the details.
