Mr. John Dolan:

Rónán had two questions there. One was about an uncaring State taking advantage. I do not think Ireland is an uncaring State but we have often and repeatedly done silly things with unintended consequences. That is where I will happily keep the discussion.

Peter said he escaped to Ballymun comprehensive; he could only escape to it if it existed, and it was set up along with only two similar ones at the time, Mayfield in Cork and Ballinteer in Dublin. A huge lot has happened in the past 20 years in education of people with disabilities in local schools. There are issues around it but education is an area where we have made a determined effort to give a good start in life to people with disabilities.

As to the one to ten scale, we are only now getting on with the Green Paper, action plan and whatever and have set out huge deficits that have been there. There is a mountain to climb. There is intent but the Houses of the Oireachtas, in whatever iteration they come back in in the next year or so, have a huge amount of work to do. It is nicely below five.
