Dr. Brady spoke about the people who she was speaking to yesterday. It is something that I am speaking to families about in west Cork all of the time. They could be waiting two years with no services - no speech and language therapy, occupational therapy or physiotherapy. There is lack of access to special schools on top of that. It is an absolute disgrace and we need to have a heightened awareness of that on this committee.
