The principal of St Killian’s special school in the city says hopes are high that the school will see the return of therapists after comments made by the Taoiseach.
At the weekend Taoiseach Simon Harris promised to raise the school with Government colleagues after it was left out of a pilot programme to restore therapists to special schools.
St Killian's is the largest special school in Munster with 104 students and parents say their children rely on these therapies and should be included in the programme.
Speaking to RedFM News principal at the school Sue Linehan agrees with Simon Harris that finance should never be a constraint to help young people reach their full potential:
"Finance shouldn’t be a constraint, we’ve asked for €100,000 to €150,000 from an unspent budget. So if finance isn’t a problem, then we’ve solved our own problem, and I suppose he was also quite interested that we’d try to solve a problem; we’d been proactive."
