One thing that popped out to me, when Ms Walsh talked about the State examinations, was about us being in the Dark Ages. I will not ask her to comment on it but I thoroughly agree with her. As a politician, and I have no doubt this includes other Members of Parliament, we have all come across these situations in April or May where people panic when they go to the Department of Education and they come back with a "No" answer. They have to go back and forward and that should not be the case. Officials of the State Examinations Commission and the Department treat visually impaired people shabbily.
