Government and unions urged to re-engage for the sake of special education 

Survey of second-level students found most respondents said they were not in favour of exams proceeding as currently planned.

The Government and unions must re-engage to get special education back up and running as soon as possible following another “cruel blow” to families, according to four advocacy organisations.

AsIAm, Down Syndrome Ireland, Family Carers Ireland, and Inclusion Ireland have written to Taoiseach Mícheál Martin seeking a meeting to discuss the range of support students need in place.
