Really @FineGael 😳😳😳😳
How insulting…Go visit any school and you will very quickly see what gets done.

@conorsmurf Being Irish and have immigrated to America in the late 1970s I'd have to disagree with you. I spent 21 years there from the age of 8 to 29. I'm back home 25 years. I'm an educator 33 years and the American system caters for a higher percentage of students needs.

@katrionaos A woman!

@IrelandFootball Absolutely magic @GleesonEileen VERY special indeed! ❤️ ⚽️

@MarkWalters_ Sending heartfelt hugs to you both during this incredibly difficult time in both your lives. We are never really ready to lose the ones we hold closest to our hearts. I know this pain!

@Education_Ire Special schools need more funding than we presently receive!

[Karen Deans @kdeans17]

@PFAIOfficial Too many things have been swept under the carpet in the FAI! It's not good enough either!

[Karen Deans @kdeans17]

@CatrionaGolden For special schools it's disheartening. You can see that there are between 50 and 200 views. Yet, there is no interest in subbing or trying out our settings.

[Karen Deans @kdeans17]

@simonmlewis I meant there are a lot of teachers in special schools who have qualified outside Ireland!

[Karen Deans @kdeans17]

@johnjazzharan @simonmlewis I'd love to know more. It seems to be a secret! Even FSSU are unaware of this. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
