@VirginMediaNews Doesn’t distinguish between mainstream and special ed. Suspect the bulk of students are large numbers of sen kids off for way longer than ten days

[SpecialSchools&ClassesIrl @irl_open]

Yet @tusla don't split data to show the impact of absenteeism on Sen students @Educ_Ire @1Hildegarde @mmoynihantd

@GarNob Well when @HSELive report abuse in schools to @tusla they do nothing so Tusla and @Education_Ire are covering abuse in special ed. Inevitably these child end up on short days or suspended / expelled and the data isn't available from TESS/ TUSLA. So we see the toxic loop.

@CSSPA4 @griptmedia @WomensSpaceIre @NormaFoleyTD1 @OCO_ireland @NormaFoleyTD1 was handed to her face a booklet of abuse cases in special ed back 2024 and nothing has changed

@PaulHeatonSolo Bet it wasn't as good as backstage in Longford and a pint in the Tally Ho after 😆

[SpecialSchools&ClassesIrl @irl_open]

@MichealLehane They wouldn't be impressed by the fact that children in special ed aren't getting an ed or that their child protection rights are entirely ignored

[SpecialSchools&ClassesIrl @irl_open]

@VirginMediaNews Thousands of carers in Ireland don't her carers allowance yet this fella can get endless free legal aid @OCallaghanJim @SimonHarrisTD @MichealMartinTD @DeptCDE

[SpecialSchools&ClassesIrl @irl_open]

Legal representation for Guardians ad Litem acting as the voice of a child(ren) in child care court proceedings has to be retained and guaranteed. Glad to raise this with the Minister for Justice today after repeated attempts with Children’s’ Minister
