FG attacks Govt spending on defence of court actions
Fine Gael is attacking the Government over the amount of taxpayers' money being spent fighting court battles against parents seeking educational help for children with special needs.
Almost €22m of exchequer funds has been spent on such court actions between 2003 and 2007.
Fine Gael's education spokesman, Brian Hayes, says this is an outrageous waste of money that could have been spent on special-needs education like ABA for autistic children.
