The Fine Gael/Labour government is being warned it faces a similar fate to the Fianna Fáil/Green coalition unless it U-turns on the issue of special needs assistants (SNAs).

Campaigners opposed to reduced spending on SNAs are taking to the streets in Dublin later.

They will march from the Central Bank to the Dáil, demanding fair treatment for children with special needs.

Principal at Griffeen Valley Educate Together National School in Lucan, Co Dublin Tomás O'Dulaing said: "(The Government) can find money to bail out the richest and the most powerful in our society…but they can’t, they tell us, find the money to look after the most vulnerable in our society.
