Education specialist and forthcoming by-election candidate, Dr Sheila Garrity, is calling for immediate action to reinstate local speech and language therapists for children in south Connemara schools.
In addition, Dr Garrity called for pre-emptive steps to forestall an anticipated shortage of Special Educational Needs (SEN ) classrooms throughout the country in September, as well as consultations with parents to resolve the Special Needs Assistant (SNA ) crisis.
