We’re “just a SNA”
-when a child has a meltdown,
-needs their insulin,
-needs OT implemented
-needs intimate care needs attended.
-needs a scribe for exams
-needs a movement or sensory break,
-needs help understanding/reading/writing
-for whatever we are needed #respectforSNAs

14 years? He intended to brutally kill her. And her quality of life is now totally compromised. Looking forward to the ‘protect ar wimmen’ tricolour-waving patriots to protest this ridiculous sentence.

#Budget2026 - Workers to bear brunt of ‘belt-tightening’ budget. Trade unions will need to review their bargaining strategies for the months ahead.

[SNAsSpeakOut (Carol) #RespectForSNAs 💙 @SNAsSpeakOut]

The secretary's and caretaker's branches have shown us how to campaign with dignity, solidarity and a community spirit. I'm proud to be a Fórsa union representative and even prouder of them. @Forsaschoolsecs

@knockcrock @ConorReddy95 @Forsaschoolsecs @forsa_union_ie I can’t speak for the whole country 😂😂😂I said of who I know

[Deborah K @KnottDebbie]

SNAs are growing tired of seeing their colleagues @Forsaschoolsecs and caretakers being so badly disrespected again as day 5 of their strike continued with no engagement of note- will it be us out next ? @forsa_union_ie #PensionParityNow

[Deborah K @KnottDebbie]

@knockcrock @ConorReddy95 @Forsaschoolsecs @forsa_union_ie I’m following the union directive &none of my SNA colleagues are leaving the children or anyone else I know?We are all in the same union &watching how our colleagues are being treated when it comes to their rights is horrific.Nothing like that would be done without notice.

[RhodriMears🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @RodsMears]

The Silence is deafening!! Feeling the pressure of not having my colleagues in the building with me. This has to stop! There needs to be a resolution! @forsa_union_ie @Education_Ire Engage!! Work it out! Make it work!!

[Fórsa School Secretaries @Forsaschoolsecs]

@fitzsiobhan1 @EglishNs @forsa_union_ie @alanharney1 Thank you. It hurts. No engagement with the WRC since last Wednesday. Shows what @HMcEntee and @jackfchambers thinks of us.

[Fórsa trade union @forsa_union_ie]

4 days of strikes for pension parity =
1 major national rally
5 huge regional rallies
2,000 school picket lines
Every local government TD office picketed

And this will go one for weeks, even months, if needed. #PensionParity

[Fórsa School Secretaries @Forsaschoolsecs]

GET OUT and support.

[Fórsa School Secretaries @Forsaschoolsecs]

School secretaries are on strike @HSELive. Dont be sending any forms in where pickets are on. 🤨
