Tá fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit agus an bhfoireann uilig. The Minister of State is saying that the number of children who do not have appropriate places is in single figures. That is the total number. I want to check the position because our information is that a significant number are sitting at home because a building has not materialised, many more who requested special classes are in mainstream classes, even more who are in special classes when they want to be in special schools and a huge number for whom there has been pick-up in the context of home-schooling. I will take a wild guess that the number is probably greater. What is the number of children who are not in appropriate places?
