Update on Owenbeg Sligo... strange that there's no "unmet demand" when parents who contacted us, are known to SENO but have allegedly been told to "apply next year".

Delaying a child's education simply because they are disabled is not just unjust, it's a violation of their basic rights. No parent of a non disabled child would accept this, and neither should we. Equality delayed, is equality denied!!

Sophia and her dad were invited to an equality in education gathering in #Dundalk yesterday to support campaigners calling for proper supports and appropriate school places for children with #disabilities. It was a positive demo but again some of the stories are #heartbreaking

Parents are not asking for perfection—we are asking for fairness, transparency, and accountability. We need a system where children are seen, supported, and included from the start—not only after advocacy, media attention, or legal pressure.

I attended this launch event today but once again the underlying tone of this annual report is how poverty in Ireland is insidious and affects the most vulnerable. Government is failing to support the most at risk groups in society and it’s about to get a lot worse! #Poverty

OK, so if I want to appeal the FOI decision on Special Schools... not an ounce of transparency or accountability ⬇️

I've been calling for a ring fenced children's health budget for years. It simply isn't good enough that we do not have one in place.
