These schools have been completely abandoned.

The filthy history of Ireland's treatment of her intellectually disabled children continues

@UniteCork @rtenews @MichealMartinTD @AnneRabbitte @simoncoveney @SimonHarrisTD @Donnchadhol @HollyCairnsTD If this was a group of hotels, or tech companies that were promised supports by Govt and 5 months on no supports had been put in place the same politicians would be clawing each others eyes out to get it sorted.

Love to see 🤏 a fraction of that fire going to special schools.

Two great advocacy groups @DCAWarriors and @fussireland - after serious engagement- resigned their positions as parent reps with the National steering group. This statement captures the game playing of the HSE so powerfully 🙌

We need an urgent review on whether the children disability network teams, as a model, and in practice, are fit for purpose. We need alternative pathways to children accessing the services they need in a timely manner.
Let’s go @AnneRabbitte @Kathleensf1 @TomClonan @ivanabacik
