I will pick up on something Deputy Conway-Walsh said. I am sorry she has left the room, which has nothing to do with the committee. As for her comments on special education, there has been unprecedented investment into special education over the past ten years. We have increased the number of special needs class spaces and teachers. Places in special classes have increased by more than 386% over the past decade. There has been significant investment in the special needs assistants, SNAs, and so on. I know there is never enough and we always and will forever want more. If Mr. Dennehy and Mr. Gillespie were to look at any country that has the perfect final examination for secondary level school students, which would they select or where is the perfect example they would like to see fully implemented here?
