I have a question from Deputy Ó Laoghaire for the Minister of State, Deputy Madigan, relating to special education advocacy groups about staff working in special schools. They all say the progressing disability model, particularly the deployment of therapists out of special schools, is a bad idea, that it will not work, that it is unsuitable for children in special schools with complex needs and that children will lose out. Why is that going ahead?
