That is not the first time that Deputy Crowe has raised the last matter. He also raised it at the last committee meeting that I was at. If I could be so bold as to suggest, perhaps the Minister of State with responsibility for special education should come to answer those questions. It is not for me to answer that particular question but I understand and hear the Deputy's frustration. He is not the first to have said that and not the first professional in the teaching role who has said that. I hear exactly what he is saying. There is a need for that to be addressed.
