I thank our guests here today. On 5 June the Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy McHugh, opened the summer provision programme for this year to include children with Down's syndrome, making no distinction between those attending preschool, primary school or post-primary school. Will Mr. Tattan explain how, over the course of the following week, the guidelines produced for the summer provision programme discriminated against certain cohorts of students with Down's syndrome? The guidelines are certainly not in keeping with the declaration made by the Minister.
