Massive thanks to the back room heroes of schools all over the country, members of Boards of Management, all volunteers. One crew steps down at midnight tonight; the next crew steps up. Unseen, unappreciated, often unpleasant work. Thank you. You ARE appreciated. #EdChatIE

Received this from children’s network disability team last night, basically unless it’s a catastrophic event don’t contact us. For staff working at these section 39 agencies it must be equally frustrating & stressful as it is for parents #staffburnout

On the above... lost for words at this. Child unable to speak? Child unable to manage their emotions? Child incapable of living in an everyday sensory environment? Tough. x.com/UnaKeightley/s…

Absolutely not a coincidence that this particular CDNT is managed by a non-HSE charity, which cannot match the HSE's pay structure. How do you fill 14.5 therapist jobs when the HSE operates the CDNT in the next town and can pay more for the same work?

A very busy and exciting morning in Nano Nagle College as our incoming 1st year students for September 2024 undertook their entrance exams and their parents had an information session about life in our school. Some of our student council were on hand to help our new students.

David McWilliams "Public sector pay" has NOT increased by 74%. The *cost* of public sector pay may have. Actual pay has not kept pace with inflation.

David McWilliams A teacher who was 5 years teaching in 2008 was paid a salary of €43,129. A teacher who is 5 years teaching in 2024 is paid a salary of €48,326. Inflation over that time is 22.8%, so the pay should actually be €52980. If it was 73.4% as David is trying to infer it'd be €74,786

This was REALLY interesting. Bríd spoke about being involved in debating as a student living with #VerbalDyspraxia. The skills learned from debating showed through yesterday in her confidence in talking so passionately in front of a packed audience. JCT English Conor Murphy

We're going to see this statement a lot. "the SET allocation model for 2024/25 is based on information supplied by these schools" The *only* information supplied by schools are enrollment numbers and literacy and numeracy scores. They have no data on complex needs.

68% of primary schools in Dublin 15 have lost special education teachers arising out of changes to the SET allocations model.
