Kildare Parents Among Those Protesting Outside Dáil Over Lack Of School Placements For Autistic Children

Parents with children heading to both primary and secondary school feel the government is turning a "blind eye" to the situation.

Parents of autistic children, including parents from Kildare, have gathered outside the Dáil to fight for their right to education.

A high number of them have not yet been placed for the incoming school year.

Parents with children heading to both primary and secondary school feel the government is turning a "blind eye" to the situation.
