'It’s not looking good': Teen with autism is denied place in a special school for second year in row

Darragh Murphy's parents, Gary and Alison, say they are frustrated by the process through which parents appeal a school's decision not to enrol their child.
A teenager with autism who remained in his mainstream primary school this year after not receiving a place in a special school has again not received an offer of a place.
Darragh Murphy, 14, from Ballinlough, Cork City, does not have a school placement for this September, despite his parents spending the last year wrapped up in the appeals process.
