Minister of State at the Department of Education (Deputy Josepha Madigan)

My Department engages with a broad array of stakeholders including schools, special education interest groups, school management bodies, advocacy groups and other government departments on a multitude of issues.

It also works with the Disability Participation and Consultation Network (DPCN) and the Disability Stakeholder Group (DSG) which is under the remit of the Department of Children Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth.

I would appreciate it if Dyxpraxia Ireland could send details of the issues which they have been experiencing, and a member of staff in the Department can follow this up. The best email address for such correspondence to be directed to is: [e-mail]
