Ruth Coppinger (Dublin West, Solidarity)

I thank the witnesses for coming in. With all the things I wanted to ask, it is really unfortunate that this meeting is so short. The first question I will ask is similar to what was asked before. I asked it of the Minister last week and it was asked of the other Minister the week before. The schools are closed. We should know now how many children do not have school places. Is it the witnesses' information that 3,275 children were made known to them as having a special educational need and that 8% of those do not have school places? Is there any update on that? How many children do not have a school place?
