I thank the Cathaoirleach for his courtesy in allowing me speak with my not being a member of the committee. I thank everyone for their presentation. I will ask the Dyslexia Association Ireland a few things. What is dyslexia? What is the issue? Will Mr. Ewing define it? It is not just reading and writing, organisational skills, self-esteem issues, tiredness or trying to cope with the day. I ask for an indication of what a mother at home would do with a dyslexic child who is on the third or fourth percentile when it comes to reading and what stress that would put on the household.
