On this beautiful Sunday afternoon my time is spent on a pointless form filling exercise.

6 weeks left before schools close in May for 3 months. Some teachers haven’t seen their students since before Christmas. Wow!

Taoiseach's refusal to answer questions on autism dossiers scandals 'extremely alarming' - @MaryLouMcDonald "Twice I asked the Taoiseach three straight forward questions. It is extremely alarming that he refused to answer a single one." sinnfein.ie/contents/60401

As a parent of a SEN child dealing with the state, the biggest surprise for me from #RTEInvestigates program is that @ncseirl aren't implicated. In our experience they are the biggest obstacle to the provision of an appropriate education. #rtept @conor_w_ryan @RTE_PrimeTime

Don’t think there’s a full understanding of how difficult it is if you’ve an autistic child in Ireland. No health service, no school places, no support but if you’re brave enough to take legal action we’re going to make you suffer #RTEInvestigates @roinnslainte @Education_Ire

The revelations today by RTÉ Investigates that the Department of Health compiled secret dossiers on autistic children and their families is a gross breach of trust. The families affected must be notified, and the DPC must investigate. rte.ie/news/investigations-u…

Please don't underestimate the trauma that this is causing parents who are now wondering "Is this me and my child?" People have a right to know where and why their sensitive information is being held and opportunity to consent. @DonnellyStephen @roinnslainte @InclusionIre #rtept
Dept of Health sourced information from private doctor consultations to secretly build detailed dossiers on children with autism who were involved in long-dormant legal actions. #rteinvestigates programme will air tonight on @RTE_PrimeTime #rtept rte.ie/news/investigations-u…

Schools must reopen for all after Easter. Education is an essential service. School is an essential service. We have failed our children and young people throughout this pandemic. Our children's rights, education and social and emotional development are not bargaining tools.
The dire mutterings about a return to school for younger teenagers maybe-not-now-going-ahead-because-we-don't-have-a-clue-where-cases-are-coming-from-and-panic-is-the-only-weapon-in-our-armoury are filling me with rage. Young teenagers are the limbo generation

We are in a national emergency Waiting lists are beyond a joke now. The only person suffering is the children, this is child neglect by the government. We are regrouping & voices will be raised untill our children get services @AnneRabbitte @hse @paulreiddublin
Over 11,000 children have been waiting at least one year for their first assessment with an occupational therapist. Our interim CEO @LorDempsey spoke to Newstalk this morning about these very concerning figures. newstalk.com/news/occupation…
