Delegates from the Fórsa trade union's education division have backed an emergency motion calling on the Government "to complete the roll-out of Covid-19 vaccinations to staff within all special education schools".
It said the vaccination schedule "should take account of the fact that SNAs in schools provide the same level of care to students as frontline healthcare workers".
The motion came after Minister for Education Norma Foley addressed the union's conference, which is taking palce online. Minister Foley said she understands the sense of disappointment among those in the education sector on the changes to the vaccine rollout schedule.
