Скачать или смотреть No SNA Cuts: Taoiseach Defends Dramatic Reversal

The Taoiseach has defended his government's dramatic U-turn on SNA cuts, saying the potential impact on nearly 200 schools was not made clear to Cabinet.

The rollback means the review will now not go ahead. There will be no reductions in Special Needs Assistants, and any promises of additional SNAs will be honoured — to the tune of €19 million.

Guest presenter Shane Coleman is joined by:

Malcolm Byrne, Fianna Fáil TD
Pearse Doherty, Sinn Féin TD and Finance Spokesperson
Kate English, Chief Economist with Deloitte

They discuss the government’s reversal, how it happened, and what it means for schools and public spending.
