Special Educational Needs
Seanad Éireann — 2022-06-14
============================================================

Tim Lombard (FG), Agricultural Panel

I thank the Minister of State for his response. This issue is about trying to make sure we have this dedicated unit put in place. The amount of work that is being done by the Beara Community School to make sure that it is managing very capably with what it has at the moment is appropriate, but it really needs to get this dedicated unit on the ground. It needs for this process to be fast-tracked. I cannot understate that. It really is important. The geographical location of the school means it has no other option and because of that, there must be a special approach here. I ask the Minister of State to go back to the Department to ensure that when planning permission is granted in the next few weeks, we can move ahead with speed to deliver this project.
