Cian O'Callaghan: In terms of the well-being of children, I wish to ask the Taoiseach about Gaelcholáiste Reachrann in Donaghmede. It has highly committed staff who do an excellent job. It was founded in 2001, and 23 years later the students are still being taught in prefabs. This is in stark contrast to many other schools that have opened since and for which permanent school buildings have been...

He had his braces tightened but was then informed he was no longer...

Ruairi Ó Murchú: I have already brought up the issue of the chaotic circumstances we find in respect of the context this question refers to, the specific issues we have to deal with and the supports that are not there if we are talking about the council, Tusla or the Garda in dealing with these matters.

Ruairi Ó Murchú: You can imagine what the principal said. It is the loss of hours. What began several years ago at 47.5 hours has now reduced to 40 hours. This is impacting on the school's ability to deal with the kids who need this support the most.

My specific issue today concerns baby rooms. Living in Glanmire, which is a...

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I raise the issue of school places, especially for ASD units, and parents paying to get their children assessed.

They have three children, one of whom has special needs and has, incidentally, been waiting for an assessment for months and months. They are about to be evicted on 24 June through no fault of their own because the property...
