Dail Éireann — 2021-01-14
============================================================

Josepha Madigan (FG), Dublin Rathdown

I thank Deputy O'Donnell very much for his question. He must have his finger on the pulse, as there is very good news following our discussions with the unions this morning in that there is a shared commitment to reopen all special classes in primary schools, special schools, and classes for children with SEN in mainstream classes from next Thursday, 21 January. This is a positive development. We have logistical issues that we need to sort out, but I thank the education partners and the Minister for Education, Deputy Foley, for all the work that has been done to date.
