I've listened to parents, I’ve visited Offaly School of Special Education. We are failing our most vulnerable children. If recruitment is the issue for the HSE, then funding should be provided directly to schools so they can recruit their own therapists. rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

If you are looking for somewhere to eat, close to Cork, may I sincerely and honestly recommend O Mahonys of Watergrasshill in Watergrasshill and Farmgate Restaurant & Country Store in Lismore. Two locally owned businesses who support their community and serve ACE food. Shop local, to keep your locality alive.
