Ms Helen Guinan:

The National Disability Authority has a representative on the board of the National Council for Special Education, NCSE, and I am a council member. I know the NCSE is working very hard with the Department of Education and Skills on the provision of services for and the inclusion of children with disabilities. Much work is being done on this and the NDA is feeding into the process. I am keen to keep an eye on this area as I agree that gaps exist, though they are being identified.
