Teacher Unions And The Department To Discuss Return Of Special Education Later
It's after the Department abandoned today's planned reopening, following objections from the INTO and Forsa on safety grounds.
Meanwhile disability advocacy groups are demanding a meeting with the Taoiseach to arrange a package of supports for affected children and their families.
Labour education spokesperson, Aodhan O'Riordain, says it's time for a fresh start:
"I'm glad that the Minister appears to be meeting with the unions again today I think that's important. I think some of the rhetoric that we heard over the last 24 hours has been really unfortunate, from statements; things saidin the media, so I think we need to move on now. We have asked the Taoiseach to become centrally involved. And we are asking questions of the Minister in the Dáil later today so we want to be solution driven, we feel that we can find solutions."
