@irelandamvmtv: "I want to buy my daughter's school uniform, I want her to walk into a classroom" Charlotte Cahill expresses her anger as her 5-year-old daughter, Cyra, has been refused a place in over 30 Special Educational Needs schools. As a result, Cyra is now in her third year of preschool. To support other parents facing the same issue, Charlotte has set up a WhatsApp group, which now has over 140 members fighting for school places for their children #IrelandAM

The issue is the teaching council took Route 4 away. Huge teacher shortage in Special schools due to this. Irish is not necessary for Special schools bring back Route 4. The other issue is they though

I wish Ireland could have kept developing special schools so all the dedicated resources and knowledge could have been in one building in an area.

Saying they'll all have a place was an utter lie. kids need stability and these years are so so important for establishing lifelong educational foundations. How can First 5 apply why they are ignored?

This is what we’re up against as parents of children with additional needs, our country is failing our kids and in turn forcing us as parents to feel like failures!!!

Why can’t the government fund education for the parents that want to go into the likes of these jobs in order to staff the services that are refusing us all due to the lack of staff ??
