Finglas School Faces Delays in Special Classes

Parents at Finglas Parochial National School face significant delays in opening special classes for children with additional needs, originally planned for September 2021, now pushed to at least 2027. Twelve pupils currently receive two hours of school per day in a community hall. Families express frustration over the uncertainty, impacting routines, work, and mental health. Groups like Equality in Education advocate for real school places, citing protests and insufficient hall time. The Department of Education promises expedited planning and modular buildings, while providing teacher support and backup plans.
