Tuesday 17th February - SNA Review Backlash and the Future of Classroom Support

from The Tonight Show

Guest presenter Shane Coleman leads a lively Tonight Show debate. First, the minister for education pauses a controversial review of Special Needs Assistant allocations after backlash from teachers and parents fearing major cuts to classroom support. Fine Gael MEP Regina Doherty, Sinn Féin MEP Kathleen Funchion, and Irish Examiner Special Correspondent Mick Clifford share their views.Later, Moscow hits back at Irish proposals to board sanctioned Russian vessels, calling the move “piracy,” as tensions rise over maritime security. And we ask — should Ireland’s Nations League fixtures against Israel go ahead as planned, and where should they be played? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
