Below is the current list (as of 27th March 2025) of additional sanctioned special classes for Cork for the school year 2025/26.
Active engagement with other schools is ongoing and it is expected that there will be further announcements of additional special classes approved on a regular basis going forward.
I want to thank Minister Helen McEntee for her proactive engagement with me on this critically important issue. I also want to thank the parents of students with additional needs & the schools that I have engaged with directly over the past weeks and months.
