A Dublin mum is set to protest outside the Dail this morning and go on hunger strike until her young son with autism is given a school place at a special school.
Nadine Staunton, from North Kings Street in Dublin, is a mum of three sons and her youngest two have both been diagnosed with autism.
She previously campaigned to get her middle son, Maddix, into a school three years ago after he was left on a HSE waiting list for years. He is now attending a special school in Donnycarney and "doing very well."
