Covid-19 (Education): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-01-14
============================================================

Norma Foley (FF), Kerry

I will make a brief comment and the Minister of State will then contribute. On the case outlined by the Deputy, it is for all those reasons and more that specific provision for the cohort of children with additional needs and profound and severe difficulties is being made so they are facilitated in terms of lockdown. I am personally aware of the difficulties and complexities faced by these children and, in addition, by their families and guardians during the last lockdown. It is for all those reasons and more that the Government has been 100% committed to making particular accommodation for children with additional needs.
