Ruth Coppinger (Dublin West, Solidarity) | Oireachtas source

I would like to back up what has been said. A very large public meeting took place in the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Blanchardstown, on this issue. Parents have done lot of research to demonstrate the need for a special school. This does not go against the policy of integration, which may comprise the initial reaction. It is actually about children who cannot integrate into the ASD units or mainstream schools.

Dublin 15 is the fastest-growing area of western Europe. It is in the Taoiseach's constituency. It has the youngest population and it obviously has a need for what is proposed. Does the Taoiseach agree with what the three Deputies are asking, that he meet the group?
