Special Educational Needs
Dail Éireann — 2025-04-08
============================================================

Matt Carthy (SF), Cavan-Monaghan

This time last year, we were told there was no need for a special school in County Monaghan. It took a sustained and dignified campaign by families of children with disabilities, which others and I were proud to support, to lead to the announcement that an interim special school would open in Castleblayney this coming September. Will the Minister of State give an assurance that every child that needs a place in that school will receive one?
