Parents of children awaiting the opening of much needed new special classes, due to open in 2025, have called for a firm guarantee classes will open in or by September.

In March, Finglas Parochial National School told parents it was “highly unlikely” its two special classes would fully open in 2026, and 2027 was the more likely scenario.
