Ms Martina Mannion:

It is happening four months earlier, as the Minister of State said, than last year. All of that is happening in a methodical way. The national data just did not give us the granular information at county or school planning area level that was needed to get the right classes in the right place. As the Minister of State said, where people are happy and settled, on a human level we do not want them to have to move, but the idea is that there will be a sufficient breadth of special classes at primary and post-primary schools across the country so that as children leave and new children come in, there will be special classes in their local communities to support their needs.
