Sir, – I am writing in response to the letter from the Department of Education and Skills (June 19th) regarding special needs assistants.
While the letter appears plausible, it might interest readers to read some or all of the circular 0030/2014 to which it refers. Anyone who reads this circular will understand why all parents of special-needs children have concerns.
And surely it would be better for the department to rewrite the circular instead of asking the National Council for Special Education “to develop an information booklet” to explain it? – Yours, etc,
BERNICE O’CONNOR,
