The National Council for Special Education (NCSE) is, in the first instance, the primary body responsible for the matter the Deputy has raised. I have forwarded this issue to them for their attention and direct reply.

Deputies are also welcome to raise such queries with the NCSE directly through their dedicated Oireachtas query line at .

The NCSE advise that the special needs assistant (SNA) review application process is available on its website and schools can contact their local special educational needs organiser (SENO) to discuss the process. Local SENO Kevin Murphy remains available to the school referred to by the Deputy and can be connected on or at 016033379.
