Special Educational Needs
Seanad Éireann — 2023-05-18
============================================================

Mary Fitzpatrick (FF), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I thank the Minister of State for clarifying the matter. It is good to get clarity. The site at Grangegorman that has served the Educate Together school for many years is ideally located. The Educate Together school community has waited a long time for the new purpose-built school. I look forward to it moving into that on the Grangegorman campus, and I wish it well.
This is very positive news. It would be really helpful if the Minister and the City of Dublin ETB could facilitate a meeting with parents in the area. These parents, guardians and carers are obviously very committed to their young people and want this school to be a success and to support its opening. If the Minister could be asked to facilitate an engagement with them to talk about how it is going to progress, it would be very positive and constructive.
