Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I do not believe those classes should be phased out across Ireland. We need more preschool interventions, not fewer. I am not aware of the national policy background to this, if that is indeed the case or what the specifics are regarding this school. I have had a number of specific queries today in respect of SNAs and so on. The State drew up a White Paper on this way back in the context of the Department of Education dealing with preschool special needs. I will have a look at the matter.
