Since there are no further contributions, I thank the Minister of State and her officials for participating. We look forward to further engagement on the challenges that exist. There are many challenges in the area of special education and the pandemic in particular has shone a light on them. Major efforts are being made right across the country, particularly regarding classes that opened on 11 February and yesterday morning. We must compliment the people involved, the front-line staff who have been doing great work. There are challenges we have to meet, however. We will be engaging with the Minister of State further and we would like to have another meeting in the not-too-distant future on certain aspects of special education. I thank the Minister of State for participating in the meeting today. We look forward to engaging with her further on the areas under our remit.
