New special school planned for Cork

Area 'lagging' nationally in provision for special educational needs 

Education Minister Norma Foley: Engaging with the landowner over a site for the new school.

A new special school is planned for Cork, where a lack of such school places puts pressure on many families each year. 

Officials in the Department of Education are currently working towards the acquisition of a permanent site for the new school, and have engaged with officials in Cork City Council.
