I that is in a special school, it is a special school. If there is capacity to be in mainstream, then there is capacity to be in a mainstream special class or whatever the case might be. We have made enormous progress in the past three years. I take the point about people being discommoded in terms of going from one to the other, a child in one place and another child somewhere else. If the Deputy gives me the details relating to the two schools he mentioned, Martina will follow up on that.
