Committee on Disability Matters
Inclusive Education for People with Disabilities: Discussion
2:00 am
Ruairí Ó Murchú (Louth, Sinn Fein)
That is fair enough. Will the Minister of State get a timeline and the numbers to which I referred as quickly as possible? That would be really useful.
The Minister of State spoke about the no-wrong door approach and the single point of application. We need to really reduce the number of disasters that happen every year and the stress this causes to students and their families.
My party has proposed, and has legislation going through on this, that families could do the application process for kids with disabilities almost two years beforehand. It is about everything that would facilitate the school and whoever else being in place. Will the Minister of State tell me, and I know he has made some changes, how exactly this looks at the minute and how it will look into the future as regards somebody applying for his or her kid to get into school?
