Mr. Mark O'Connor:

It would seem to be. We, in Inclusion Ireland, can believe whatever we want but we would have to go back to the policy advice the Minister has. The National Council for Special Education, whose representatives will be here later this afternoon, have previously described the scheme as inequitable. By not allowing children with Down's syndrome and moderate intellectual disabilities, even with mild intellectual disabilities, into the scheme, because many of these children present with co-morbidities that further complicates their situation, the NCSE is on the record with policy advice to the Minister that the scheme is inequitable and open to challenge under equal status grounds. I do not think it can be any clearer than that.
