"Firhouse Educate Together National School (FETNS) is losing two teachers at the end of October as the school do not meet the required pupil teacher ratio set out by the Department of Education. Forty four per cent (44%) of the children, or 76 out of the 171 children enrolled in this school, require additional attention. This is a hugely disproportionate number compared to other schools.

Firhouse Educate Together new National School building has a Special Needs Unit but cannot be opened as the Department of Education has requested that Firhouse Educate Together National School use this space to accommodate pupils from the neighbouring Gaelscoil Na Giúise for most of the remainder of the 2017/18 academic year. 

As this school has a special set of circumstances, an exception needs to be made, we request that the Chief Executive write to the Department of Education asking for a review of the particulars of this case."

"To ask the Chief Executive, in the most recent replies to my representations, I’ve noticed that a lot more emphasis is being put on the Social Credit Scheme and I am looking for some clarity.

I understand the scheme in principle but am looking for a bit more guidance on it.   I would like to know how credits will be administered?  Also, areas that don’t have a Residents’ Association, or a Residents Association that is not registered, may struggle to amass credits.  I am wondering how the Social Credit system will affect them?"
