‘It’s just wrong that children with disabilities have to share support’

Therese McGrath will be on St Patrick’s Bridge in Cork this evening to protest at her son being in a bigger class with just one special needs assistant in September.

Darragh has Down’s syndrome and will celebrate his fifth birthday next week.

He has been attending a pre-school service since January at the deaf unit at St Columba’s National School on Cork’s Douglas Rd, along with four other pupils, some of whom also have significant disabilities.
