Listen Back: Monaghan children with special needs 'left in limbo'. "Monaghan's children with special needs continue to be failed by the Department of Education time and time again."

Moreover, ten children, including Paddy's son, are without places in Our Lady's in Castleblayney; and two in St, McCartan's College in Monaghan.
