Health Service Executive
Dail Éireann — 2024-06-18
============================================================

Pádraig O'Sullivan (FF), Cork North-Central

Despite the difficulties we have experienced, I cannot reiterate enough that I commend the Minister of State on the work she has done. I know we have talked privately and we have met with stakeholders. We have talked about the benefits of AIM classes in particular and access to language classes, especially for students who do not require an assessment of need to be undertaken. In the remaining time, will the Minister of State speak to the importance of AIM classes and language classes for kids who have a requirement for intervention and how we can best utilise that model and possibly expand those classes in future? What conversations has she had with the Minister for Education in that regard?
