A great afternoon in the Al Karamah Special School with Principal Allison Hope West. Great to see how the UAE support students with additional needs. Also a pleasure meeting SEN teacher Anne Devine from Ireland!

1/5 I was stunned to hear the news that Kolbe Special School have had their funding for their new school pulled by the Dept. of Education. A project in the pipeline for 10 yrs, at an advanced stage and funding pulled - it’s just so wrong @NormaFoleyTD1
Speaking in the Dáil chamber this afternoon on #SpecialEducationAndInclusion
Even if it wasn’t I wouldn’t fancy my chances!!
I though this was going to be utterly cringe but fair play to @OCallaghanJim he does manage to carry it off. Not sure I’d fancy trying the Garda fitness test myself.

It’s high time Sinn Féin account for their financial irregularities before the Dáil and the public!
The ongoing saga of Sinn Féin’s finances:
☑️Unpaid bills
☑️Returns errors
☑️Candidate spend undeclared
☑️Opinion polls not listed
☑️Contradictory answers
☑️SIPO investigating
How much more will emerge before Mary Lou McDonald & Pearse Doherty address this? pic.twitter.com/bPF7tTH81Q
