I thank Senator Nelson Murray for that. I believe the school she was talking about is at 2b of the process within the Department but we will follow it up again and check it out.

I take the point relating to management. The people in the management of special schools around the country are superhuman. They are special people capable of doing amazing work and we should pay tribute to the work they do and to all the teams in those schools. For many years, I have been in awe at what they have done. The Senator has outlined some of the challenges they have had regarding PEG feeding and high medical needs within special schools. These are some of the issues we are looking at. It is rare for a Cork man to be invited to meet but we will certainly do that.
