Verona Murphy: I am a newly elected Deputy and I have engaged a lot with the special needs and disability sectors. Recently I met the family of two very special needs children, both intellectually and physically, who are now adults and their transition from primary to post-primary education was extremely difficult. In 2001, a fundamental part of their education in terms of the delivery of special needs...

Now, having...

Those are rural Ireland jobs. At a time when we face the worst cost-of-living crisis in living...
