Northern Ireland Assembly: Private Members' Business: Special Educational Needs and Disability: Investment and Transformation (26 Feb 2024)

Gerry Carroll: ...falling for it. The Executive parties here should be ashamed for failing our most vulnerable children, putting countless families through the wringer and treating education workers with absolute contempt.

Gerry Carroll: ...should not be questioned only behind closed doors or by those who walk the corridors of Stormont. A public hearing, public scrutiny and those who vote MLAs to the Chamber should not be held in such contempt.
