Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I agree with the Deputy on the school inclusion model. We have got to be honest when the model is not fit for purpose. I really believe this and I say this when I talk to parents. There are often issues that if there is more money allocated, it can make great progress. Of course, we will allocate more money to children's disability services but reforming the system will be as important. That is why the programme for Government commits to putting in-school therapy services back, starting with the special schools, including speech and language therapy, OT and physiotherapy. I met the Minister for disability on that this week and I am happy to provide the Deputy with a written update.
