The issue of caring has been a significant part of our discussion. Certainly the issue of parents of children with a disability and their access to school places has been a key discussion. Where does the Taoiseach stand on this? We have made some moves in terms of helping to secure the rights of children with disabilities, particularly those with autism, and access to school places. Schools are reluctant to do that. We would like to see this significantly improve. Where does the Taoiseach stand on that? My next question concerns a publicly funded network of domestic violence refuges, about which we have had some discussions.
