I will give an example of a seven-year old child who has been suspended several times in recent months. The child has not been assessed by NEPS and is continuously suspended. Does Ms Mannion think that is right? I ask that in light of the fact that she is telling us that €2 billion has been provided for additional supports for children. I cannot reconcile how children as young as seven can be suspended from school because of behavioural issues. One would imagine that all of the supports and services are there to be able to address those needs.
