The child will get the service in his or her school and will not be travelling for it. It is not a HSE service. It is separate. It will be within the child's school environment. It would depend only on how long it takes for the child to travel to the school. Geography will make a difference. In some pockets, such as south Dublin and Cork, there is a greater lack of places and assistance than in other areas. Other criteria will also be taken into account, for example, how many children need the service. There are some areas where the need for services is not as acute as in other areas. All of those considerations will be taken into account.
