Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I am on the record for a long time as saying expulsions from special education facilities are not a good thing and are not something I agree with, but I do not know the specifics of each case. It is problematic that we are discussing this in the Chamber too, because there are processes - and there have to be - between the education and training board, the Department, management in the school and parents to try to resolve these issues. I will talk to the Minister for education again. We have been in touch with the ETB as well in respect of the issue.
