'Flurry of calls' when ministers realised 'PR disaster' on SNA provision was about to break
"Staffing changes paused following mailing mix-up"
"The Taoiseach, Tánaiste and education ministers held urgent calls last weekend as a PR crisis over the provision of special needs assistants (SNAs) to schools was unfolding."
"The "early" transmission of notices to schools over staffing had just been realised, and Coalition leaders foresaw the distress that was about to be unleashed on schools and the disability sector."
The Taoiseach, Tánaiste and education ministers held urgent calls last weekend in response to a public relations crisis over provision of special needs assistants (SNAs) to schools. An administrative error caused an early transmission of staffing notices to schools. Staffing changes were paused after the premature mailing was realised. Coalition leaders anticipated significant distress for schools and the disability sector as a result of the premature notices. The pause aimed to prevent immediate disruption while officials assessed the error and planned corrective communications and next steps.
