After the Games, same old story

THE Galway Special Needs Parents Support Group, initiated through the National Parents Council (Primary), regularly holds meetings with the aim of getting the best possible care and educational support for children with special needs, both in and out of the school system.

At this time of year, we have to confront, with weary sadness, the fact that if special provisions are not put in place for our children by the end of a school year, then they will continue to be deprived of essential help and support for the following year.

The focus of the country is now on the Special Olympics, and rightly so.
