Special Educational Needs
Dail Éireann — 2026-04-23
============================================================

Michael Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

I give the Deputy a commitment that we will publish it as a matter of urgency. I acknowledge hugely the amount of work that is being put in by the people into the task force by each and every one of the education partners across the sector. The Minister and I have been working since Christmas. Most Monday nights have been spent in meetings in relation to moving forward the education and special education component of it as well to ensure that we are listening to the challenges that are out there. We are taking on board the challenges right across the sector whether it is the SNAs and the school communities, but particularly families and communities that are looking to have the best possible education facilities and educational experience for children with additional needs. I will give a commitment to get that published as a matter of urgency. I reiterate that the recommendations in the report have very much been taken on board by the Government to make sure they are implemented for the best possible education system for children with additional needs.
