Mr. Mark O'Connor:

People can often look at Inclusion Ireland and say that these guys are advocates and that, of course, they are going to say that. However, I go back to the policymaking arm of Government, the National Council for Special Education. In 2015, so this is not new news, the National Council for Special Education stated to the Department that it was not able to recommend the continuation of a scheme which is inequitable. That is what the policymaking people who will appear before the committee this afternoon said in 2015.
