Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am very familiar with the issues with Carrigaline Community Special School. We have spoken to the Minister of State about that, and she has been hugely helpful in trying to get solutions to effectively involve new structures. We recognise the frustrations, as well as the inability to get appropriate special staffing levels for certain necessary therapies and interventions.

We will continue to work with the Minister to try to get an outcome as soon as we can. I meet parents who are very frustrated by the pace at which this is being delivered but I think the Minister of State is doing everything she possibly can to move it forward in a difficult situation.
