Minister Says More Needs To Be Done For Clare Children With Learning Disabilities

A Cabinet Minister has acknowledged more supports are needed for Clare children with learning disabilities. The Government is rolling out a Literary Associates Pilot Programme where graduates in Dyslexia studies can be immediately deployed to classrooms. It comes as the Dáil has heard that Clare children with learning difficulties are losing confidence and subject to bullying due to a sheer lack of reading and writing supports locally. Junior Minister for Education Michael Moynihan says they're working to put resources in place.
