Ms Derval McDonagh:

I will take the point about NEPS first. I wholeheartedly agree that there needs to be further development. I believe there will be more investment in the NEPS this year and beyond. However, that needs to be developed as a multidisciplinary approach. We should not invest in one discipline at the expense of others. The school inclusion model needs to be examined and move way beyond a pilot at this stage. We are all drowning in pilots and are sick of them at this stage. We need to make the system work for children in schools at a multidisciplinary level.
