Read Irish Independent 9/4/26 “‘They view our children as never being voters, so why look out for them?’ – a father’s fight for more special needs schools”

“They view our children as never being voters, so why bother looking out for them? So now I push parents – when their children with additional needs turn 18, register them on the electorate, get them to vote. You can bring a vote for them as a carer, because at least then their voice is heard, their vote is counted.”
