The strategy in Scotland is from cradle to grave, right through to housing, employment and all other services. I do no know what work has been done by the authority in that area but we would be interested to find that out because it is an issue we are all presented with many times. As Deputy Ó Fearghaíl said, and I agree with him, the issue of second level schools not having ASD centres and so on and that children have to travel by bus far away from their home place are not what we want. Another issue which is of interest is that some schools will have centres but others refuse to have anything to do with it. We need to encourage all second level schools to play their part.
