I appeal to the Tánaiste to intervene immediately to have additional special needs assistants posts approved for Scoil Aonghusa special national school in Cashel, County Tipperary. Six children with special needs are at home today, unable to avail of education, because there are not enough special needs assistants at the school. The school has places, teachers and transport available but there are not enough special needs assistants available. The school applied for additional posts as far back as last March and there is still no decision on those additional posts today.
These children are entitled to education. I appeal to the Tánaiste to contact the Department and to have these posts approved.
