Parents in Wexford have expressed deep frustration over a perceived "vacuum of silence" from the Department of Education. The primary concern centers on the critical shortage of places in special education schools. Families claim they are struggling to secure necessary support for their children. In response to the growing outcry, Minister Michael Moynihan recently visited Our Lady of Fatima Special School. The visit was intended to allow the Minister to hear the concerns of parents and staff firsthand. Despite this engagement, families continue to demand concrete action and transparent communication. The situation highlights a systemic struggle to provide adequate special education resources in the region.
