5 months in and special schools still await therapies @rodericogorman @1Hildegarde @NormaFoleyTD1 @AnneRabbitte These schools have been completely abandoned. The filthy history of Ireland's treatment of her intellectually disabled children continues rte.ie/news/education…

@UniteCork @rtenews @MichealMartinTD @AnneRabbitte @simoncoveney @SimonHarrisTD @Donnchadhol @HollyCairnsTD If this was a group of hotels, or tech companies that were promised supports by Govt and 5 months on no supports had been put in place the same politicians would be clawing each others eyes out to get it sorted.
