The Minister of Education Mr Batt OKeeffe has made an appalling decision to close the Special Class at St Catherines National School Donore Ave Dublin 8

This decision will impact on the future of vulnerable children who need special attention to help them reach their full potential.

    • if funds are a problem more imaginative and economic methods of delivering education to children with special needs must be explored- closing classes should be off the agenda

    • This is the worst decision that the government has made to date, in dealing with the economic crisis. To hit the most vulnerable is insane, and will cost far more in the future to put right
