The National Council for Special Education (NCSE) has responsibility for coordinating and advising on the education provision for children with special educational needs.

As the matter raised relates to a NCSE process, I have forwarded your query to the NCSE for their attention and direct reply. SNAs are generally allocated on a whole school basis and the recruitment of new SNAs is a matter for school boards of management at local level.

Deputies are also welcome to raise such matters with the NCSE directly through their dedicated Oireachtas query line at oireachtasqueries@ncse.ie.
