Irish language requirement and employment

    A huge debate rages on another forum regarding the employment of Special Needs Assistants and the need to have a Junior Cert in Irish. Special Needs Assistants are employed on the basis of care needs and have non teaching duties. The case of Groener in EU case law refers to a Dutch teacher who challenged the Irish language requirement and lost. However many of the disgruntled SNAs argue there are no training facilities available for them to gain the Junior Cert and claim this is discrimination. Any thoughts?

    To clarify, are these Irish SNAs or immigrant SNAs?
