Yes. Distance to services is a significant challenge. Many people are travelling from Mayo to Galway just to access a special needs school. The challenge down the road will be deciding where these kids will go after primary school. Is there a possibility of building extensions to secondary schools to not only accommodate them in a special setting, but also integrate them in the overall education system? We probably need to meet this challenge head on. I acknowledge Dr. Muldoon's comments and appreciate them.
