Many of us around this table, as parents, know of the genuine demand for early childhood education. How will we meet the needs of Ukrainian children?

The Minister of State with responsibility for special education will know that representatives of AsIAm appeared before the Joint Committee on Disability Matters a few weeks ago. They spoke about meeting the needs of young people from Ukraine. Is money being put into special education services? How is it working? What money is being allocated to it? What are the supports for those with additional needs, especially when neither English nor Irish is their first language? How will SNAs support the students given the language barrier?
