I take Mr. O'Connor's point. One of the cohorts that appears to have been left out is that comprising children with Down's syndrome transitioning to mainstream national schools in which there are no designated special classes. Is this an issue that has been highlighted often in the Inclusion Ireland survey or in anecdotal reports? I am not concerned about any one child in particular and I am sure this is not the only cohort that has been left out of the system. These children, having been left out of the school system for six months, now have to make the transition to national school but without any supports. This will be difficult because that transition is in some ways more difficult for these children. Is this unique or is it something Inclusion Ireland is coming up against?
