If the witness tells me that Down Syndrome Ireland are, at a national policy level, talking to the NCSE about the transitions we are discussing then I will be satisfied. If the answer is "no" then people like me could contact the NCSE. What I am finding in schools is a piecemeal, almost pernicious approach by the NCSE. Schools will get an allocation of half a person here and a quarter of a person there. This is how surreal it has become in this country. If Down Syndrome Ireland could talk to the NCSE and if people like us could push that along we might be able to open a door there as well.
