ABSTRACT Teachers in Irish-medium primary schools frequently refer to the challenges they face in catering for students with special educational needs (SEN). This presentation reports on the challenges and opportunities for schools and teachers in supporting these students through Irish. An overview will be provided on the numbers of students with SEN who transferred from the schools in the study, and the reasons for this. A comparison will be made with international research and recommendations will be provided on how schools and teachers can best tackle such challenges. ACHOIMRE Is minic a thagraíonn múinteoirí i mbunscoileanna Gaeilge do na dúshláin a bhíonn acu agus iad ag freastal ar dhaltaí a bhfuil riachtanais speisialta oideachais (RSO) acu. Tuairiscíonn an cur i láthair seo ar na dúshláin agus deiseanna a bhíonn ann do scoileanna agus do mhúinteoirí agus iad ag tacú leis na daltaí sin trí mheán na Gaeilge. Cuirfear forbhreathnú ar fáil ar líon na ndaltaí a bhfuil RSO acu a d'aistrigh ó na scoileanna a bhí rannpháirteach sa taighde agus na cúiseanna leis. Cuirfear na réimsí seo i gcomparáid le taighde idirnáisiúnta agus cuirfear moltaí ar fáil maidir le conas is féidir le scoileanna/múinteoirí dul i ngleic leis na dúshláin sin.
