The principal of one of the largest schools in Co. Wexford has vowed to take to the streets after the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) denied extra support for 54 high-needs pupils, including a blind child and 36 students with autism.

Frank Murphy, principal of St Aidan's primary school in Enniscorthy has voiced frustration on behalf of himself, his staff, parents, and children in the school at the lack of support or willingness to discuss issues by the NCSE

"It is like pulling a piece of skin and holes opening. We are taking from children in order to give to other children who are more in need. They are going without literacy and numeracy support because the teacher is trying to manage other students that need to be regulated. It is not right,” he added.

Doubling class sizes for children with additional care and educational needs and without any additional resources to go with it doesn’t sound like progress to me

This is now a standard model of HSE care in children disability ‘services’.

[Gareth Noble @GarNob]

As someone involved in countless cases against the Department she led, I can honestly say HH never took a ‘brave step’ forward to help disabled citizens and family carers in her political life. https://t.co/KSmfTXuLrU

If you’re still wondering if your chosen news outlet is accurate and reliable, take a look at the headlines regarding the Israeli drone strike on the flotilla and look at the video footage of the attack. Then make your own mind up.

There is a fascinating contradiction in one state body saying you don’t need or have a right to a school place in your local community and another state body that insists you can only have psychology, OT and SLT in your local health care centre and tough on you if that initial appointment is 2 or 3 years away.

In 2014 North Kildare in CHO7 were a pilot program for Progressing Disability Services (CDNT). Two parent reps from each school were in attendance at the meetings and we all said don’t remove therapists from schools but the @HSELive did anyway. Fine Gael oversaw all of that. 😤🤯

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community.

We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect?

Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity.

Jody Gormley died this evening. Life is so unfair. I hope his family can take some comfort, in knowing that he was stunning human being.

He was the best of us❤️

Just FYI, if you voted for FF or FG you have voted to keep 15,000 people homeless, longer healthcare waiting times, against carers benefits / rights and saying goodbye to the young people of this country #GeneralElection2024 #GE24
