I thank all the speakers for their comprehensive presentations. I have three or four questions. I do not think I will get through all of them but I will try.

I direct my first question to Ms Dempsey and the representatives from Inclusion Ireland. It was heartbreaking going through that organisation's report and learning of the regression that many students with intellectual disabilities have suffered during the Covid-19 period. The Minister of State with responsibility for special education and inclusion, Deputy Madigan, will be taking statements in the Dáil tomorrow. What are the main messages the representatives from Inclusion Ireland would like us to convey to her? Do they have any solutions they would like us to address to the Minister of State and ask her to implement quickly?
