For 2024, about €2.7 billion is being spent on special education. This will allow for the opening of 400 new special classes and 300 additional special school places. We had a meeting last week of the Cabinet sub-committee on education and special needs education. The Minister for Education, Deputy Foley, and the Minister of State with special responsibility for special education, Deputy Naughton, have been very clear that they will meet all the needs and will provide an adequacy of places for all children requiring a place by next September.
