Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I assure the Deputy that the Government is doing everything it possibly can with the National Council for Special Education to find additional places and additional capacity in schools. We are looking at simplifying and clarifying the legislation in order to oblige all schools in the country to be inclusive and to make sure that their doors are open for applications from children with special needs. In tandem with that, Government will provide the requisite resources of both teachers and physical accommodation to meet what should be a fundamental principle in education. All schools, including private schools, are funded to some degree by the State. There needs to be full inclusion for children with special educational needs.
