I welcome the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Charlie McCoalogue to the House. It is good to see a full Cabinet Minister taking a Commencement Matter.

Part of the exemption is for trees outside a forest so it is about the legal interpretation of what is a tree and what is a forest. To put that in context, there are more special classes in New Ross, which has six classes for a population of 7,000, than in Tramore, which has two classes despite having a population that is 3,000 higher.
These initiatives are bearing fruit, with more than 600 new special classes sanctioned at primary level, almost 300 new special classes sanctioned at post-primary level and five new special schools established over the past three years. Along with the two new special schools, the Minister and Minister of State also confirmed that 218 new special classes have been sanctioned by the NCSE for opening in the coming school year.
