Yes. My question follows on from what we were saying. A few queries arose regarding career guidance and the support around same. A website,careersportal.ie, is a good resource that is accessible to students, parents and educators.
I believe it was Ms Neville who made an interesting comment about the supports in place for DEIS schools. There are DEIS levels 1 and 2 for urban and rural schools. Normally, they have good access to teaching supports and educators. Was Ms Neville speaking about post-primary level in particular? We are discussing issues of inclusion, access and the follow-on from those.
Following on from the last update on the National Educational Psychological Service, NEPS, and the National Council for Special Education, NCSE, programme, a budget was allocated in 2021 to increase that for primary schools. I am happy to provide Ms Ní Chéileachair with the most recent update and any other information I might have.
