Ms Martina Mannion:

That is a good point and it goes back to the conversation we had earlier around language. The NCSE is a statutory body and the word "Special" is in that. As Mr. Doody said, in a large number of these cases this is how they were set up initially. The Department would be open looking to look at the naming of schools and will engage with the boards of management and patrons on that. We mentioned to Senator McGreehan when we talked about this that we want to make sure the language is reflective of the way the system is and of the way it should be, and to make sure we are supporting people in the use of that. As part of the Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Act 2004, we are looking at that.
