I agree. The Middletown Centre for Autism was before the committee a number of weeks ago. We also travelled up to Armagh ourselves. That organisation has the best practice with regard to training. It is my view, and I think it is shared, that that organisation should be rolling out the training across the country for both parents and those in our education system. That training needs to be put in place for everybody, both in education and politics, as well as support for parents.

I call Ms Egan, who is representing the parents of children in St. Joseph's National School, Longford.
