============================================================

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I thank Deputy O'Connor and I will absolutely bring this issue directly, as I know he has, to both the Minister for Education and the Minister of State with responsibility for special education. I will ask them to come back to the Deputy through the NCSE regarding Youghal and how we can increase capacity in east Cork.
In both the Deputy's constituency and many other constituencies, people are working cross-party to try to make progress on this important issue. We will engage constructively with everyone on this and there is significant additional funding and capacity coming on stream. Timeliness is important, however, and I will ask the Minister for Education to come directly back to him on that.
