Regarding special education, undoubtedly the Deputy and the Senator will have plenty of evidence of situations where parents are travelling many miles in the morning and evening. They may be getting some travel subsidy for doing it, but that is all they get for spending hours in the car every week to get the best education for their sons and daughters. A new special education unit has opened in St. Aidan's primary school in Enniscorthy. From talking to one family there, I know the great feeling of relief that has brought to them, because major pressures are faced by all families whose children have special needs.
