Michael Moynihan (Cork North-West, Fianna Fail)

If the Deputy gives me a chance, since 1 October, the Department of education and the NCSE have been constantly monitoring, working through and making decisions based on the information we have received. This is a very important piece. We gave a commitment to have special classes announced before Christmas in order that families would have certainty. That work is continuous and is in progress. Over the next number of weeks, when all that information has been studied and decisions made on it, we will bring a full memorandum to Cabinet.
