Trade union Fórsa has described tweets by the minister for disability as "not exactly helpful" in a wrangle over the return of therapists to special schools.

Minister Anne Rabbitte tweeted that she had received questions about the issue and that "regrettably, the Fórsa trade union (which represents personnel involved) has issued an instruction of non-co-operation to its members regarding the re-instatement process".
