Cllr Richie Molloy welcomes SNA outcome for Tipperary schools

The resolution of the SNA dispute and the removal of the uncertainty over school posts in Tipperary have been widely welcomed.

Cllr Richie Molloy, an Independent councillor with Tipperary County Council and local support manager with Family Carers Ireland ,welcomed the news that SNA hours will remain the same for the upcoming school term.

 "The government received a shock with the strong reaction from parents all over Tipperary and the whole country," said Cllr Molloy.

Cllr Molloy encouraged people to participate in the peaceful protest being organised by local parents on Saturday from the Main Guard in Clonmel.

"It was very important that Government understand that parents and carers will simply not accept reduced SNA hours for the upcoming term or indeed the following year, as the support SNAs give our children is invaluable," he said.
