A local journalist says SNAs do terrific work and are essential members of many schools.
Editor of the AngloCelt, Linda O'Reilly was speaking in response to controversy this week over whether a review of the SNA sector is essential.
As it stands, Hildegarde Naughton put the process on hold this week following concerns from parents and school communities.
Linda O'Reilly believes that the review is needed but that it shouldn't lose sight of the people at the heart of it.
Speaking on the Joe Finnegan show this morning, she said, in her opinion, every school should deserves at least one SNA.
