Labour Youth representative Mike O’Connor made the comments at the Labour party’s national conference on Saturday in Dublin. Photograph: Dara Mac Dónaill/The Irish TimesYouth representative Mike O’Connor claimed at the party’s national conference that he and other students protested outside a press conference by the Minister at DCU earlier this year, which he claimed was the third launch of the same college accommodation construction initiative.
“This week as the Coalition on chaos had the coronation of the next taoiseach, the new summer programme fund was released” and while it looked good, in reality there was a cut in real terms, he said. Senator Annie Hoey hit out at €120 million of public money being put into private education when “it could easily have funded summer programmes that have been savagely cut”.
He welcomed Ms Madigan’s resignation. “She’s the most useless and incompetent minister in Government and the worst minister dealing with special education in many years.”But one delegate, a mother of two children with ASD , sensory and other complex needs, condemned Ms Madigan for standing down.
