Reform of special education teaching hours has no 'political payoff' for Taoiseach

Nessa Hill, co-chair and director of Neurodiversity Ireland, said the potential cuts to SET hours for some schools may lead to disruption in the class and a diversion of the teacher’s attention.

The co-chair of a group representing parents of children with complex needs says she has no hope that Taoiseach Simon Harris will push for reform of special education teaching allocation.

Nessa Hill, co-chair and director of Neurodiversity Ireland, said she did not believe there would be a "political payoff" for Mr Harris to seek a change to the system.
