March on Leinster House over SNA cuts

TEACHERS, parents and resource assistants will march on Leinster House next week to demonstrate against “inhumane” education cuts affecting children with special needs.

The Alliance Against Cuts in Education (ACE) group has appealed for people from around the country to attend the demonstration, declaring that there were moral, ethical, social and financial imperatives for doing so.

The group, chaired by the principal of Griffeen Valley Educate Together School in Lucan, Co Dublin, Tomás O’Dulaing, described themselves as a “loose umbrella group” whose aim was to campaign against “the immorality of what this government is doing”.
