Judges hide O' Cuanachain judgment until after the election

news report
Thursday April 26, 2007 12:46 by Miriam Cotton - Disability Election Pledge Alliance
Protest to proceed tomorrow at St Stephen's Green The full text of the High Court judgment in the O' Cuanachain case was due to be delivered tomorrow 27th April. But they chickened out. Would this by any chance be connected to the forthcoming election? You can bet on it. It would have been interesting to see what form of casuistry they had come up with to justify this callous and discriminatory judgment. To recap on the facts, the government have spent 5 mllion euro on defeating Sean O' Cuanachain's parents in the courts in order to prevent them from securing a teaching method proven to work with children with autism. Mary Hanafin has claimed that the Dept of Education's preferred strategy is to rely on what she calls an 'eclectic' approach. This actually translates into dumping autistic children into mainstream schools where they are entitled to a derisory maximum of 5 hours resource teaching per week. For the rest of the time the children must be fitted in as best they can by teachers who often have over-sized classes to deal with anyway. One professional psychologist has accused Mary Hanafin of substituting opinion for science. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Protest tomorrow Friday 27th April at 11.30am in St. Stephen's Green, Grafton Street Entrance.
The protest will proceed at 12pm to Lenister House.
Please come along - as many peeps as possible needed to show support.
I attended two packed meetings one in the Mansion Hse Round Room when the K Sinnot stuff was on the boil, much passion and light was shown, and MSM were there in force. With election in view the same again could be more potent.
Just to let you know the Final Judgement on the O'Cuanachain case has been brought forward to Friday 18th May. This is good news as it is before the elections - if possible as many people as possible should travel to Dublin that day to support Yvonne and Cian.
Irish Autism Action protest march going ahead on Friday 18th meet at GPO O'Connell street at 11.30 march at 12 to Dept of Education.
