The NCSE announced the allocations of SNAs to schools on 25th June. It was also announced that in September there will be over 10,900 Special Needs Assistant (SNA) posts in schools to support students with special needs for the 2014/2015 school year. The exact numbers of SNAs will become clear when enrolments of students in mainstream schools are finalised in September. A school by school breakdown of SNA allocations for 2014/15 school year is available at www.ncse.ie.
