Kildare TD Highlights Difficulties Faced By Wheelchair Users In Curragh School

He requested for the Taoiseach follow up with the Minister for Education

Labour and Kildare South TD Mark Wall has spoke in the Dáil about the difficulties faced by wheelchair users in St Annes Special School in the Curragh.

He requested for the Taoiseach follow up with the Minister for Education.

He outlined that "more than a dozen" wheelchair users have no access to inclusive equipment on ground during break times.

Deputy Wall also mentioned that there was only one accessible bathroom for 40 students.

He added that due to the current condition of the school, that funding was being diverted from essential education and sensory equipment.

While Taoiseach Micheál Martin said he would raise the issue with the Minister for Education. Deputy Wall on social media said that "we need more than words, we need to see shovels in the ground".
