Wonderful to confirm Alannah earlier today in Kolbe Special School @PortlaoiseParis I always love their Kolbe Prayer: “Kolbe is a special place, where every child is full of grace. As we gather here today ready for both work and play, we take this chance to pray together for happy days now and forever. Amen” @KANDLEi @CatholicNewsIRL
Some welcome news📣 @Education_Ire has made direct contact with the school regarding the additional accommodation sought. Our work here is done...for now😉
⏰⏰ time marches on Still 🤐 from @Education_Ire Why can't a simple time frame be given for when #Kolbe's application for additional accommodation be processed❓ @NormaFoleyTD1 there is a failure to communicate here and not for the 1st time. #edchatie
We hope to be in our new school in 2025🤞🏽 Meanwhile 4️⃣5️⃣ severely intellectually disabled children are expected to cram back into 8 cramped classrooms in Sept. An application was made MONTHS ago for extra classroom space - what's to consider🤷♀️😳 When might we get a decision❓
@NormaFoleyTD1 How long does it take to process an application for additional accommodation❓ There is that basic level of oversight of the scheme presumably. So why can't (won't) @Education_Ire answer the question❓ 3️⃣ months in and 🤐
@INTOnews @ippn @forsa_union_ie Why can't/won't @Education_Ire answer the simple question - how long does it take to process an application for additional accommodation❓ Your members deserve answers as do we parents.
@INTOnews @forsa_union_ie @IPPN_Education Your members #Kolbe's dedicated, devoted staff are expected to cater for the sensory needs of 4️⃣5️⃣ profoundly intellectually disabled children in this sensory space in Sept👇 📣 Speak up for your members❗ 🧵
@NormaFoleyTD1 @Education_Ire @SeanFlemingTD @IPPN_Education @forsa_union_ie @apike1 @edu_equal @VOPIRELAND @Midlands103 @LaoisToday So not only is there not enough space, the space that is available is in a state of serious disrepair. ✅Application for Additional Accommodation submitted 3 months ago Yet ❌ from @Education_Ire We parents want answers❗️
🌧️⛈️ some weather we are having. It mightn't affect you @NormaFoleyTD1 - presumably your office roof doesn't leak or sag ? But 4⃣5⃣ profoundly intellectually disabled students, their teachers, SNAs and nurses return in September to a scatter of 8⃣ leaking, mouldy prefabs.

Pleased to confirm an agreement has been secured to guarantee and support the continued rollout of the Department’s ambitious school building project. All 58 schools will be contacted today by Officials and updated in respect of the next steps of the delivery of their projects.
More press releases🙃 (Hope the schools concerned get action from @Education_Ire on these projects soon) Still no date upon which our new school build can go to tender. 57 other schools on the STILL UNPUBLISHED list of 58 paused/unpaused schools also await dates#INTOcongress23
Ministers @NormaFoleyTD1 and @josephamadigan announce two new special schools as part of forward planning for 2023/24. For more 👉gov.ie/en/press-relea…
Modern & appropriate buildings😳 43 intellectually disabled students at #KolbeSpecialSchool are in a scatter of 8 rotting prefabs. Their new building was ...paused?🤷♀️ Then 'unpaused'🙄 Either way we STILL don't have a DATE the new building will go to tender🤷♀️ #INTOCongress23
Ministers @NormaFoleyTD1 and @josephamadigan confirm delivery of 58 school building projects that were temporarily paused. For more👉gov.ie/en/press-relea…
We cautiously welcome this news, this project should have gone to tender months ago so we await to hear from the school mgt that @Education_Ire and @NormaFoleyTD1 have given a clear time to them frame for going to tender and beyond.
Ministers @NormaFoleyTD1 and @josephamadigan confirm delivery of 58 school building projects that were temporarily paused. For more👉gov.ie/en/press-relea…
WHERE is the list of 5️⃣8️⃣ schools which had building works axed @NormaFoleyTD1 ❓ No spin about prioritising communications with affected schools please✋ It is really concerning 4️⃣ weeks in & @Education_Ire still CANNOT produce the list. There IS a list-right? #INTOCongress23
Stop the contradictory excuses about funding/timing/list errors🙄 @INTOnews where are you in this😕THESE ARE YOUR MEMBERS WORKING IN A BUILDING NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE. Shouldn't your reps be pushing for answers too? Ask @NormaFoleyTD1 for answers, for our school & 5️⃣7️⃣ others.
@NormaFoleyTD1 5️⃣8️⃣schools around the country want answers. 5️⃣8️⃣ groups of students need answers Good public policy and the principles of natural justice demand they get answers. Take the opportunity at #INTOCongress23 to give answers. 1/🧵
No timeline❌ Still no list of 58 affected schools❌ Zero communication to stakeholders from @Education_Ire ❌ Parents from #KolbeSpecialSchoolPortlaoise having to file FOI requests to get basic answers from the Planning&Building section✅ @INTOnews #INTOCongress23
No timeline for when stalled school building projects will resume, Minister says irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4110…
📩 we got mail❗Assurances from Sec Gen's office in @Education_Ire that they are "working hard" on the issue🙄 Almost 4️⃣ weeks in & THAT ☝ is the response🤷♀️ That's the same yarn they spun @SeanFlemingTD😉 ⏰We are 🤏almost 2️⃣ weeks on from our public meeting 👀👇 🗣📣🤘
