A busy weekend on the Fórsa news front saw reaction from SNAs and HSCPs to Friday's announcement of the summer education programme for children with special education needs, and a decision by the unions's Cabin Crew branch to ballot Aer Lingus cabin crew on management proposals for sweeping changes to working conditions, following a meeting of the branch on Saturday.
SNA concerns about the summer school programme and the planned reopening of schools were picked up by RTE and The Irish Examiner's education correspondent Jess Casey and a number of regional titles. The Aer Lingus developments were widely reported as they happened throughout the weekend, with the ballot decision also reported by RTE and the Examiner, among others.
Our head of Health and Welfare Eamonn Donnelly is due to appear on Sarah McInerney's RTE Radio One programme at around 11 today to talk about how the summer education programme cannot be delivered in full until issues over the availability of HSCPs are quickly resolved.
