Parents of children with special needs have to “go to war” to access a school place for their children, an Oireachtas committee has heard.

Labour’s Aodhán Ó Ríordáin said he was “horrified” to learn what families had to go through to secure places and that some who had contacted him were “in tears” over the matter.
