In the context of what Mr. Harris said in terms of children being illegally placed on reduced hours and sent home, in the past two months I was made aware of two cases arising in two separate schools located close to each other in a rural area of County Meath. Where schools send children home on the basis that they cannot cope and where their parents are told to collect them, what is the process for the reporting of such incidents? What support is being offered to schools and is that followed up professionally in order to ensure that this practice is not allowed to continue?
