All children in Dublin Central deserve a school place
Dear Minister,
We are the Dublin Central Equality in Education campaign group. We are a group of parents across the Dublin Central area of Dublin campaigning for ALL children with additional needs to have access to a school place in their community, and they receive the support and resources they need to live the fullest life possible and have the opportunity to thrive.

We are part of the wider national Equality in Education campaign and support their demands. We as the Dublin Central area want to build awareness locally and campaign to ensure ALL the children in Dublin Central can access a school place in their community.
We feel the following needs to happen to ensure all children can obtain an education place in their local community as is their right.
We are campaigning for the following:
- All children with additional needs in the Dublin Central constituency have an education place for September 2025.
- There is no cap on SNA allocation and all children have the SNA support they need and access to all other extra resources in classrooms across schools in the Dublin Central area.
- In the Dublin Central area the SENO will contact all creche and early years settings to ensure all children who will need a special education place are accounted for.
- The demands of SNAs in current contract negotiations are met. They have access to professional development to support their role and the children's needs. Changes are made to minimum qualification requirement to enter the profession as per SNA campaign
