SNAs vow ‘summer of discontent’

ANGRY special needs assistants (SNAs) and parents of children with special needs in Cork have promised a “summer of discontent”.

The National Council for Special Education wrote to hundreds of schools last week informing them of cuts to their SNA allowance for the next school year.

More than 100 people attended a public meeting in the Metropole Hotel in Cork last night to voice anger at the cuts.
