A specially commissioned publication by the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) and written by Professor Emer Ring, Dean of Education at Mary Immaculate College (MIC) has been published at an event marking the 20th anniversary of the organisation. Special Education in an Independent Ireland 1922-2022. Insights from a Journey through the Century—which was three years in the making and runs to 300+ pages—is a landmark piece of research because while much has been written on the history of education in Ireland since political independence, the history of special education in its context as part of state policy for education has not received detailed examination until now. The book, which has a specific focus on more recent decades, is based on published source material, original sources and first-hand accounts of how key individuals perceived the evolution of special education and policy over the first 100 years of the foundation of the State.
