  • Why education is now in the political danger zone and Dublin Central battle heats up

    Why education is now in the political danger zone and Dublin Central battle heats up
    Feb 27 2026
    The government scrambles to contain the fallout from its SNA allocation controversy, announcing a late night funding reversal but has lasting damage already been done? Plus, Sinn Fein selects Janice Boylan for the crucial Dublin Central by election as Gerry The Monk Hutch gears up for another run. What does it all mean for the political landscape? Copy: This week on Indo Politics, the government finds itself on the defensive after a botched review of Special Needs Assistant allocations spiralled into a full blown political crisis. A late night 19 million euro funding injection has paused the cuts for now, but questions remain about how the review was handled, why ministers appeared blindsided, and whether trust in the special education system has been shaken. With disability services already a stated priority for this government, has serious political capital been burned over what critics say was a preventable controversy? We also turn to Dublin Central, where Sinn Fein has selected councillor Janice Boylan as its candidate in the upcoming by election. After a disappointing general election performance, can she consolidate the party vote or will the contest open the door to rivals on the left, or even to Gerry The Monk Hutch, who is already mobilising supporters?
