Call for probe into allegations that special education resources mis-used

Two groups representing families of children with special educational needs have called on the Garda Commissioner to investigate allegations of misuse of special education resources in schools.

The group, formed by the Hope Project and the DCA Warriors, and who have a huge Facebook membership, said a whistleblower who had previously contacted them three years ago with concerns over the abuse of resource hours in school has recently made a fresh protected disclosure to the Department of Education.
