When will the 'powers that be' take this situation serious enough to make some real change? My son needs the right school place for his complex needs. Why is that so difficult to achieve in 2023?

[Jen Hogan⚡ @jenhoganjourno]

Robbie still has no school place! @MarritaC https://t.co/8iOi8raSsG

Thanks @rteliveline for the opportunity to discuss our situation around no special education secondary school place for my son. Every child is entitled to equal access to education. This right is simply not available for my son. Why?

As an SNA in a special class, let me tell you this is a yearly accurate representation of the lived realities for parents when seeking school places as children move on in our education system. The system is broken. We are failing these children.

Marrita tells her story of having no school place for her son Robbie, who is due to start secondary school in September. She talks about Robbies wonderful SNA 🥰 #RespectForSNAs

Dear @NormaFoleyTD1 @josephamadigan

Marrita having to fight for a school place for her son Robbie in 2023 is shameful. ALL children are entitled to education. Copy and paste replies to her, and others isnt going to get Robbie a school place.

Thank you for sharing 💕
Today is about celebrating Down syndrome. It is also a good opportunity to raise awareness of the insatiable fight for equal access to education and support for our kids. It should not be this difficult, but it is.

[Access For All Ireland @AccessForAll7]

‘I have applied to all of the special education schools for my son, but all say they’ve no places’.

The key word in this piece from @MarritaC is fight.

We always have to fight.

We were told by @josephamadigan that places would be available so why can’t Robbie access a place and the supports he needs to be an equal in Irish society.

Why is it we always have to fight?

@IrishWater shouldn't you inform people first if you plan works in areas where you turn off their water supply all day for 3 days?
