Gabhaim buíochas leis na finnéithe as a gcur i láthair agus as ucht a bheith linn. Tá sé thar a bheith tábhachtach go gcloisimid ó na daoine atá ag cur an tsoláthair seo i láthair sna scoileanna.

I thank the delegations for attending. It is so important to hear from the people who are at the coalface of this matter. I have a number of questions for the witnesses. I will start with a clarification question for Ms Leydon regarding the facts and figures in the submission. According to the ASTI submission, "5% of mainstream teachers have a SEN qualification and 40% of SET teachers do not have an SEN qualification". Are those percentages specific to the post-primary sector, or do they apply to both primary and post-primary?
