Ms Áine Lynch:

Obviously the forward planning and the data we spoke about earlier are essential to this but there should also be more outrage. If this happened for children without disabilities or special education needs, there would be public outrage. We accept it when a parent is told that their child will not start in September, it might be nearer December and in the in-between time we can sort out some home tuition. There should be outrage at that because we would not accept it for children without special education needs.
