Catherine Murphy

221. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Education if she will provide the rationale for the exclusion of a special needs assistant representative on boards of management (BOMs) at primary school level; her views on whether SNAs are not adequately represented by the role of the teacher representative; and if she will seek to include a specifically allocated space on BOMs for an SNA representative by amending section 14 of the Education Act 1998.
