Ms McGrath is correct and I commend the schools involved. Star of the Sea and Scoil Mhuire will establish special classes from next September. Those schools are both in Dublin 4. I and a number of other local Deputies visited other schools in the area, for instance, the national boys' and girls' schools in Ringsend. They would be prepared to go along with this but need to be given the funding to construct ASD classrooms. What is the process for that? The two schools in question want to provide ASD classrooms and are wondering what the process is. Can it be expedited for them?
