Elbha O’Sullivan said her eight-year-old son Cillín was due to start special classes for autism when his school moves into a new building next year.
“We are in the lucky position that our school has been in temporary accommodation for ten years and is moving in now to a purpose-built multi-million euro building in January with three rooms purpose-built for autism classes. “I had no inkling at all whatsoever that any of this was in jeopardy until Friday when I got the call to withdraw the offer.”Ms O’Sullivan said there are no other autism classes for Cillín in the community – and even if there were it would mean uprooting hm from his siblings and friends.“This is a plan we have been working towards with his school for a long time,” she said. “We considered moving schools last year; we knew this was coming, we said we would stay put.
Unfortunately he is Irish and will be put to the back of the queue Should have destroyed his documents and claimed asylum All his problems would be ours
