A Dublin mum is set to protest outside the Dail next week as she continues to fight for her young son with autism to be given a place at a special school that can better care for his needs.
Nadine Staunton, from North Kings Street in Dublin, is a mum of three sons and her youngest two boys 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. During the summer she also protested outside the Dail to get her youngest son Jefferson into a new school.
Speaking to Dublin Live this week, Nadine said that she is "very stressed" that she is still having to campaign to secure a place at a special school for her youngest son Jefferson, seven, who has autism and is currently struggling to keep up with his schoolwork.
