## Resource

A Dublin mother faced a €300 fine after her children missed hundreds of school days over years — no medical excuse, no parental cooperation, and no response to school outreach. Despite tailored support, head lice treatment, and welfare checks, she ignored officials, even becoming aggressive at meetings. The judge stressed education as a constitutional right and the children’s severe learning setbacks, but spared jail due to her financial hardship — a stark warning about parental duty.
