Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

Little Angels School is a school in Donegal that caters for children with moderate, severe and profound learning disabilities. It has a new school that has not even been opened yet. There is a new school because the old one was not fit for purpose, but amazingly the new school is too small for the existing pupils. There are not enough classes in the new school and that is without even talking about the additional needs that are there in the county. On Sunday, my colleagues and I met a number of the families. Nine families have been in direct contact with me. These families have been told by the SENO that their child has to be at this school, but there is no space in the school. This is absolutely appalling. It is devastating for these parents and families who are battling every day. Will the Taoiseach take a personal interest in this? We need all the stakeholders around the table.
