PUBLIC meetings in Swords and Balbriggan have been called this week to protest against cuts to Special Needs Assistants and resource teaching hours in Fingal schools.
The two public meetings are being held by Clare Daly TD (SP) who has joined a national campaign to reverse the controversial education cuts. Deputy Daly said: 'The first weeks of school this year will bring the devastating impacts of the government's latest education cuts, to numbers of Special Needs Assistants and to resource teaching hours. 'This disgraceful attack on the most vulnerable children will also impact the education of all students within the system.' A broad campaign group of parents, teachers and SNAs have come together under the banner of the Alliance Against Cuts in Education (ACE) to demand a reversal of the cuts. Two public meetings will be held in the Fingal area to discuss the issue and how to oppose the cuts.
