Mr. Dalton Tattan:

As Ms Griffin has mentioned, we have 190 special classes opening in the autumn. We have issues in a small number of areas. That is not to take away from the issues families in those areas face. We are working where there are shortages in Cork - I know the NCSE is continuing to do further work there - and in south Dublin where they have issues to report to us. A decision on that from the Minister is imminent. We expect to be making progress on the class issue and also the special school places.
