Ms Niamh O'Shea:

I thank Mr. Hegarty. The effect of LED lighting depends on the disability. For children who are autistic and have a visual sensitivity, LED lighting can be overstimulating and that lighting would need to be changed. Document M of the building regulations stipulates the different types of lighting that would be most suitable depending on the disability in question. I am not sure if that answers the Senator's question. I would refer back to document M, which stipulates the best lighting that would be most suitable depending on the environment. LED lighting can sometimes create a sheen which can be very distracting. I do not want to discuss that because it is not my personal experience. I refer the Senator to document M.
