A group campaigning against cuts for special needs students has said it will recommence street protests because the Department of Education proposes further cuts in the budget for this area.

Alliance Against Cuts in Education (ACE) has said its members will return to the streets next Wednesday.

It has argued that the allocations of resources for the 2012- 2013 school year will result in as many as 1,000 children with disabilities and learning difficulties not having access to special needs support.

The demonstration will begin at the Central Bank on July 4th at 3.45pm.
