Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Education (Admission to Schools) Bill 2020: Discussion
Pádraig O'Sullivan (Cork North Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
We are trying to facilitate people working from home, but at the same time we do not seem to have a problem, yet, with sending Johnny or Mary on a bus for possibly two hours a day. We must have a discussion about this topic as well.
I have one more question that requires just a one-word answer. My query stems from the conversation that Dr. Redmond and I had earlier, and concerns a collaborative approach versus a directed approach regarding ASD class designation for a school. I could phrase this two ways, but is it a case that the current system of collaboration, as Dr. Redmond put it, is going to get us to where we need to be, or, as I think, is a more intrusive or directed approach needed by the Department, the NCSE or whatever body it may be? Where are we with this? Is it a case of collaboration or of a directed model?
