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.

Voting @FineGael
in the by-election is voting for Simon Harris, and that means accepting the treatment of children with scoliosis and the existence of "medical orphans" in our health service. It means what happened to Harvey and other vulnerable children is to be tolerated.
CHAMPIONS AGAIN!

@HarrachtainO@MarcusMacBride I didn’t say specifically autistic children, I said people with disabilities! They were placed in institutions, workhouses psychiatric hospitals etc
@fiannafailparty Great to see this Fianna Fáil TD speaking out on such an important issue, but I hope he realises it will take time to undo the damage caused by whoever has been running the country for the last 15 years.
In #Wexford a couple of weeks back, a suicidal teen spent 4 weeks in a hospital bed unable to secure even a video consultation with an on-call child psychiatrist before her mother decided to discharge her. Let them eat cake, I guess. 🤷♂️ #MentalHealth
