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

Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

I appreciate that huge efforts have been made by those in the NCSE, people working in schools and, above all, parents. However, what is happening is not acceptable. This is the last Leaders' Questions the Taoiseach is going to face. He cannot back up the commitment by the Minister for education that every child needing special education will have a place come September. He is sending out the message that we have made a huge effort but, unfortunately, some children will be left behind.
The Taoiseach mentioned that for those who have been offered school places perhaps in October, November or December, temporary solutions will be put in place. Will he expand on that? None of the parents know about these temporary-----
