200 parents will sleep outside the Dail tonight to urge the Government to provide school places for children with special needs.
Protesters from Equality in Education say they want the Minister to engage with them to ensure their children have a place in September.
The group is looking for transparency and accountability in the allocation of resources to special education.
A number of Kildare parents have travelled up to the Dail to take part in a protest which gets underway at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
