Jack Chambers (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

As the Deputy can appreciate, I am not familiar with the specific school he referenced or what has occurred relating to SNAs, apart from stating that the overall number of SNAs will continue to increase nationally, along with the support we are providing for special education through the National Council for Special Education, NCSE, around school buildings, teachers, SNAs and other supports in schools. I will ask the Minister for education to respond to the Deputy on the specific case he referenced. There are review mechanisms, through engagement with the NCSE and others, on SNA allocations. I will ask that the engagement take place.
