They said to us that the schools in question were new and they had not yet enrolled anyone. They said they were to be found in the school 25 km away, but that the travelling party did not have time to get there.

The Irish education system does a good job. We have to look at it. I am like Ms Maher. I want all doors open and I want the three boxes. However, when one special needs child comes into a school, it causes huge resource issues that have to be dealt with as well. We do a good job in this country in meeting those requirements overall. It may not be as good as we like-----
