Special Educational Needs
Seanad Éireann — 2023-01-26
============================================================

Seán Kyne (FG), Cultural and Educational Panel

I thank the Minister of State for the response. I acknowledge the interest shown by the Minister of State, Deputy Madigan, in this matter and her meeting with the principal and stakeholders.
I again ask that the Minister of State, Deputy Madigan, progress this matter through the Department and that the application not be viewed as just another application. It is a very important school for special children who deserve the best. They have a difficult enough life and their parents have unique challenges from day to day. All parents face unique challenges but these parents have additional unique challenges and we need to do our very best for these special children.
