Special Educational Needs
Seanad Éireann — 2022-10-19
============================================================

Josepha Madigan (FG), Dublin Rathdown

There is a difference there. If there are 144 students in primary school at the moment and we assume the majority of those will be going on to post-primary, we have to make sure we have the placements for them. The NCSE is aware of that. Mr. John Kearney, who is the new CEO, will be able to recruit extra staff to implement that and use our forecasting model to be able to anticipate where there is capacity in local schools and how we can provide for them. We have the new legislation as well which can assist us with that.
