Minister of State for Special Education and Inclusion Josepha Madigan TD.

The number of new special classes at post-primary level will need to double over the next three years, according to the Minister for Special Education.

If the recent growth in the need for special classes continues, the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) expects a similar level of new special classes will be needed for primary as has been provided over the last three years, Josepha Madigan said.
