The Sacred Heart Boys National School in Ballygall caters for boys from Ballygall, Glasnevin, Finglas and Ballymun. The school requires two additional newly built classrooms for 12 children with special needs.

There is an urgent need for autism spectrum disorder, ASD, units and classroom facilities for children with autism and special needs in the area. The Department of Education planning section is holding up progress on this badly needed facility. This needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency as families and children are getting really frustrated by these ongoing delays.
