Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

It has now transpired in the Brooklodge case that no application was made to the Department by the school in respect of a new special class. The NCSE has sanctioned an ASD class but my understanding is that an application was never made or had not been made up to the weekend, although an application is going in urgently now. I do not think it is fair to the Minister to say that the Minister has refused that. I spoke to the Minister about this when it emerged and Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan and the Minister of State, Deputy Colm Burke, were in touch with me. That is the situation in respect of Brooklodge.
