Conroy says she welcomes news that special classes are to be provided across Dublin Bay South for new school year

The publication of the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) list of special classes available in primary and post-primary schools across Dublin Bay South has been welcomed by Fianna Fáil Cllr Deirdre Conroy.

The list provides important information to assist parents in supporting their child’s education.

“I know the publication of the list of special classes for September will be great support to parents and families of young people with special educational needs across the constituency of Dublin Bay South,” Councillor Conroy said.

“The provision of these classes shows the commitment in Government to ensure that young people have appropriate school places suitable to their needs.

“I want to pay tribute to all our schools across the County, particularly the schools who are establishing special classes for the first time.

“Throughout Ireland, the number of special classes continues to grow year-on-year.

“Today’s announcement is another step on the road to strengthening support and inclusion in our education system for the benefit of all students and will ensure that students have the supports needed to reach their full potential.”

A full list of all classes can be found here and any parent with questions is encouraged to visit NCSE.ie or contact their local SENO for further advice and supports including information on new special classes opening in 2022 or beyond.
