'It's a scary place to be for any parent, but in particular, parents with a child with additional needs.'

Ms Coyne said Robbie was in a mainstream primary school, as it was believed this would be best for his socialisation.

Ms Coyne said she applied to 12 special education schools in Dublin and its surrounding areas for Robbie. "I've had to fight this journey for seven months and it's a scary place to be for any parent, but in particular, parents with a child with additional needs. "There are no places, he's on a waiting list, [or] we are out of the catchment area. Perhaps the school facilities don't suit his complex needs – they're the main responses I've been receiving," she said.
