I attach a copy of the current special needs assistant's pay scales, for the information of the Deputy. The starting hourly rate of pay for a special needs assistant is €13.91.

The current salary scale is applicable from the 1st June 2007 as a result of the implementation of Phase 2 of the "Towards 2016" Social partnership Agreement.
