As of Monday, 2nd September there were still 126 children with SEN waiting for an appropriate school place, according to Dept figs. There should not be this scramble every year.

When it comes to data collection, why is no one talking to the schools directly. Why can't schools give their SEN data to the Dept or NCSE? Why is there no mechanism for this? POD could be easily and immediately used if this were facilitated by the Dept.

The parents of children with additional needs, who have no school places this school year, have staged a protest outside the Dáil. They say their children are regressing developmentally because they can't get an appropriate school place in their area.

Why is it acceptable in a wealthy country for a #disabledperson to be twice as likely to be homeless or have to leave school early? Join my meeting to discuss #disabilityjustice & the #carecrisis.

Where is the consistency in Special Schools provision of therapeutic services? SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TAKE CONTROL, ACTION AND RESPONSIBILITY!! The children and staff in ALL Special Schools deserve better. 1/2

@AnneRabbitte gets frustrated 1 hr into a 2 hr meeting, imagine what EVERY parent feels dealing with them for years. @HSELive had 10 years to get PDS right before its roll out 2 yrs ago... their action plan in 2009 was another lovely Gov document with zero action!! #brokensystem
Delighted Danú CSS is finally getting their own stand-alone state of the art, purpose built 20 classroom special school.
Parent & Carers HAVE YOUR SAY. Don't hold back.
