I understand it is an issue with the Department of Health. The Minister paid testament to the work the ETB has done there and I would underline that. If I was the parent of a child and the ETB was to take on further special schools, despite the excellent work it has done, I would have to question whether that was the right place to send my child if those therapies are not being provided. That is just a point I wanted to highlight. I know it is an issue for the Minister for Health.
On leaving certificate reform, the Minister could probably talk for 20 minutes on it. Will she give us a whistlestop tour of where we are at? To be fair, there was a great start to it.
